Using the Le Fort II osteotomy in nonsyndromic nasomaxillary hypoplasia is a helpful and left away technique, because of its complexity. The authors give a step-by-step detailed description of the surgical technique with perioperative management. In summary, the steps provided give unique information about this reproducible and aesthetic technique.
Several articles have discussed mandibular condyle position after bilateral sagittal split osteotomies (BSSO). However, previous studies have sought to establish a relationship between orthognathic surgery and the improvement of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) signs and symptoms. Also, they have been limited to two-dimensional evaluation of condylar position considering only the condylar "sag" or improper inferior seating of the condyle. The purpose of this study was to investigate a relationship between changes in condylar position using three-dimensional computed tomography and the negative clinical impact of BSSO on the temporomandibular joint.How to cite this article: Kalach Mussali AJ, Gonzalez-Magana F, Malagon Hidalgo HO.
