Two-point osteotomy technique in bilateral sagittal split osteotomy of mandible

Abstract

Today bilateral sagittal split osteotomy technique is one of the main surgical methods used in mandibular deformities surgical correction. Since, the osteotomy design has an important role in decreasing BSSO complications, we developed a technique which restrict the osteotomy points to posterior medial ramus cut and anterior vertical cut in widely used hunsuck modification for decreasing the complications.Keywords: Sagittal split ramus osteotomy; Orthognathic surgery; Skeletal deformity.
