A tibia fracture after a fibula harvest is a rare and serious condition; however, when treated adequately, it has a good outcome. The possibility of a fracture should be kept in mind and other pathology and/or metastasis should be ruled out.

An uncommon complication after a fibula graft for a mandibular reconstruction is a fracture of the tibia. This report describes a case and the treatment of a fracture of the tibia after a partial mandibulectomy and neck dissection, followed by a mandibular reconstruction with a vascularized left fibula graft.
