What is your approach to adjuvant radiation in SCC of oral cavity with exposed bone following mandibulectomy and reconstruction?

What can be done to promote wound healing? How far down would you delay radiation? Would you start at 6 weeks anyway if certain high risk features are present?

Wait up to 8 weeks (prefer 6), irradiate, and deal with bone later if still present.
