Miniplate Fixation of Le Fort I Osteotomies
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1986The use of rigid, internal, three-dimensional fixation using vitallium bone plates in 28 consecutive Le Fort I osteotomies is presented. A minimum follow-up period of 6 months was required for inclusion in this patient group. Maxillary movements included advancements (17), intrusions (9), lengthenings (5), and retrusions (2).

Bone-plates for stabilizing Le Fort I osteotomies
Journal of Maxillofacial Surgery, 198616 adults were treated by inferior repositioning of the maxilla. Miniaturized plates were used for stabilizing the jaw in its new position. No interpositional bone grafts were used but the osteotomy spaces were covered by strips of cancellous iliac bone. Healing was uncomplicated.

Surgical accuracy in Le Fort I maxillary osteotomies
British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2001The surgical outcome of planned movements of Le Fort I osteotomies is dependent on the surgeon's ability to achieve such movements intraoperatively. Our aim was to assess the surgical accuracy achieved for 30 consecutive patients undergoing Le Fort I osteotomies treated by one maxillofacial surgeon and his team.Intraoperative control of the mobilized ...

Simultaneous Modified Oblique Le Fort III and Segmentalized Le Fort I Osteotomies
Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2010From the literature, the number of studies reporting the use of the Le Fort III osteotomy or its modifications in correcting nonsyndromic midface hypoplasia is small. This report describes the application of a modified oblique Le Fort III osteotomy that includes the nasal bones and in combination with a segmentalized Le Fort I osteotomy in the ...
