Abstract. We evaluated changes in position and angle of the proximal segment, including the condyle, after intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy (IVRO) with and without a Le Fort I osteotomy to verify whether displacement of the proximal segment could induce postoperative complications.Of 29 Japanese patients with mandibular prognathism with asymmetry, 16 underwent IVRO and 13 underwent IVRO in combination with a Le Fort I osteotomy. The changes in condylar angle, ramus angle, and displacement of the proximal segment were measured pre and post-operatively using computed tomography (CT). The position of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc was examined with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) pre and postoperatively. Trigeminal nerve hypoesthesia in the lower lip was assessed bilaterally by the trigeminal somatosensory evoked potential (TSEP).The postoperative horizontal condylar angle was significantly smaller than the preoperative one on both the deviated and non-deviated sides (P<0.0001). The postoperative coronal condylar angle was significantly larger than the preoperative one on the deviated side (P=0.0483). The postoperative sagittal ramus angle was larger than the preoperative one on both the deviated (P<0.0001) and non-deviated side (P=0.00005). Most (6 of 8 joints) with an anteriorly-displaced disc with (ADDwR) and without reduction (ADDwoR) improved on the non-deviated side, and 5 joints of 16 improved on the deviated side.Results suggest that the position and the angle of the proximal segment, including the condyle, could change after IVRO. Although this could be associated with symptomatic improvement in TMJ, extreme medial displacement of the proximal segment could delay recovery from lower lip hypoesthesia.
