Simplification of the Le Fort I Osteotomy

Clinics in Plastic Surgery, 1989
The efficient execution of the Le Fort I osteotomy, as is true of any operation, requires a thorough understanding of the steps of the procedure, elimination of wasted motion and hesitation, a reduction of the number of instruments to a minimum, and an avoidance of pitfalls. A technical description of the author's method, which has proven effective, is

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.

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.

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

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.

Endoscopically assisted Le Fort I osteotomy

Journal of Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery, 2001
A new technique of the Le Fort I osteotomy using endoscopic techniques through limited approaches has been evaluated.This technique was first carried out successfully in a study on six cadavers. Thereafter we performed endoscopically assisted Le Fort l osteotomy in two patients.Four vertical incisions were used in the vestibule (paranasally and ...

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
