The dental implant placement on the fibula cutting guide with implant placement was placed on the anterior surface instead of the posterior surface.The guide was used to mark dental implant holes prior to drilling of the holes, then subsequent placement.The error was identified upon placement of fibula segments in the patient's face.The dental implants were removed upon identification and holes were subsequently bone grafted.At time of this writeup the surgeon plans to place dental implants in a second procedure (as is the standard in fibula graft procedures without the usage of vsp for dental implant placement).The patient condition was reported to be acceptable after surgery and the oral surgeon estimated a 2-3 hour delay to surgery to address the misplaced implants.
