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

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.

The Le Fort I Osteotomy: Stepwise Procedure

The Le Fort osteotomies are composed of a logical sequence of surgical steps that must be consistently followed during each procedure in order to operate successfully, with clarity and safely. Basically, six surgical steps can be distinguished, from incision to osteosynthesis. Even the incision can be decisive for obtaining a sufficient overview of the

The Le Fort III Osteotomy: To Distract or Not to Distract?

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2001
Treatment of the craniofacial dysostoses (e.g., Crouzon, Apert, Pfeiffer, Saethre-Chotzen syndromes) is critically dependent on the successful advancement of the midface with a Le Fort III procedure. The purpose of this retrospective clinical outcome study was to evaluate a new technique for distracting the Le Fort III procedure and to compare its ...
