What factors affect the attachment of the inferior alveolar nerve to the buccal plate following sagittal split osteotomy?

The inferior alveolar nerve at the proximal fragment during bilateral sagittal split osteotomy - Is there need to reposition to distal fragment?

“…Tabrizi et al, in 2020 stated that there is a significant influence of factors such as the thickness of the buccal cortex, presence of impacted molars, and height of the mandible, which determine the entrapment of the IAN to the proximal or distal fragment. 2 These factors might have played a role in our study, as we had 28.5% of our cases where the IAN was trapped in the proximal fragment.…”

“…From the nerve to the crest, and the impacted tooth's presence affect the IAN's entrapment to the proximal segment. 2 Therefore, during bilateral sagittal split osteotomy, it is always not possible to prevent this complication. There are many modifications in the BSSO procedure technique in the literature to avoid this complication.…”
