Miniplate and screw fixation has been widely used in bilateral sagittal split osteotomy, but some issues remain unclear concerning its lack of rigidity when compared to Spiessl's bicortical technique. This paper demonstrates ...

Computed tomography is shown as an alternative important aid for diagnosis and postoperative evaluation in the maxillofacial region.

Recent studies have evaluated many methods of internal fixation for sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO), aiming to increase stability of the bone segments while minimizing condylar displacement. The purpose of this study ...

The external skeletal fixation is the stabilization of fractures or articulations by means of cutaneous fixation pins that penetrate into the two bony cortices and are connected with a metal bar or a self-polymerizing acrylic ...
