Cleft Le Fort I Osteotomy

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2016
In this video, we present a single piece Le Fort I osteotomy with bone graft in a patient with a unilateral cleft lip and palate. Maxillary osteotomies in the cleft patient can be challenging because of the presence of scar, palatal or alveolar fistulae, compromised teeth, and vascularization of the segments. The video demonstrates our current approach

Le Fort III Osteotomy and Variations

The last five decades have seen decisive advances in orthognathic surgery in terms of surgical techniques and outcomes in the treatment of dysgnathic maxillo-facial malocclusion and deformities. However, despite brilliant technical innovations, the basic surgical principles have remained unchanged. The most common midface osteotomy techniques currently

Resorbable Fixation of Le Fort I Osteotomies

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 1998
We review our experience with resorbable fixation in Le Fort I osteotomies. We used resorbable plates and screws for fixation of 29 Le Fort I osteotomies over a 1-year period (October 1996-November 1997). Patients ages ranged from 13 to 38 years (mean, 24.7 years). The postoperative follow-up ranged from 2 weeks to 1 year.

Osseous repair with Le Fort I osteotomy

Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, 1989
The effectiveness of rigid and semirigid fixation at various distances between Le Fort I osteotomy segments after different healing periods was evaluated in 16 Macaca fasicularis monkeys. The histologic findings revealed better healing with semirigid fixation.

Le Fort II Osteotomy

Le Fort II osteotomies of the midface, which include not only the maxilla, but variably also parts of the midface complex including caudal, medial, and lateral orbital rims, the zygomatic bones, and possibly also the nasal framework, are available as surgical variants in different midface planes.

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. Le Fort I osteotomy was performed on five cadavers.
