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

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 effects of the Le Fort I osteotomy on the periodontium

Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 1992
Two age-matched populations of equal size (n = 40), one having orthodontic therapy and the other combined orthodontic therapy and orthognathic surgery, were evaluated for their periodontal status 1 to 10 years posttherapy. The parameters investigated were plaque index, gingival index, tooth mobility, width of keratinized tissue, probing depth, gingival

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

Asystole during Le Fort I osteotomy

Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 1989
A case report of asystole occurring during down-fracture of a maxilla in a Le Fort I osteotomy procedure is described. The case serves to illustrate an extreme example of the trigeminovagal reflex during manipulation of the maxilla.
