Tumours in the mandible often necessitate the removal of both mandibular and condylar bone. A free vascularised bone flap is a common choice for reconstruction, but it is rare for adults to form a new condyle after it. We describe a patient in whom a new condyle did form after reconstruction with a vascularised iliac crest free flap.
