Effects of chemotherapy on osseointegration of implants: a case report.

A patient underwent mandibular resection for high-grade osteosarcoma with immediate reconstruction with a microvascular fibula free bone graft and simultaneous placement of osseointegrated implants. Following initial healing, she underwent six cycles of chemotherapy and had further revision surgery prior to implant exposure and construction of a prosthesis. The chemotherapy appears to have had no deleterious effects on implant osseointegration or survival.
