The Self-Retained Le Fort I Osteotomy

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1987
Because inferior repositioning of the maxilla after Le Fort I osteotomy has a high relapse rate, a modified bone cut oriented obliquely upward has been tried in 29 patients. The modification allows extrusion of the fragment while maintaining good bony contact, thus eliminating the need for bone grafts. It also permits self-retention of the fragment and

Secondary Fractures of Le Fort I Osteotomy

Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2000
To report the ophthalmic complications of Le Fort I osteotomy for the correction of dentofacial deformities and to determine the maximal compressive loads applied during pterygomaxillary separation in a cadaver model.Two cases of ophthalmic complications arising after Le Fort I osteotomy are reported.

Surgical complications of segmental Le Fort I osteotomy

British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2011
Segmental maxillary osteotomy is a useful adjunct in orthognathic surgery for the correction of vertical and transverse maxillary deformities, but we know of few published reports that document complications. We evaluated the complication rates associated with segmental maxillary surgery in our unit by retrospective review of medical records ...

A peculiar complication in Le Fort I osteotomy

Journal of Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery, 1988
In two cases of routine Le Fort I osteotomy in secondary cleft palate surgery, a swelling noted in the antral mucosa was biopsied. In both cases, histological examination resulted in a diagnosis of odontogenic myxoma. After analysis of the radiographs, it was concluded that the biopsies were taken from displaced tooth germs.

Bone-plates for stabilizing Le Fort I osteotomies

Journal of Maxillofacial Surgery, 1986
16 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.
