Stability of Orthognathic Surgery in the Treatment of Condylar Osteochondroma Combined With Jaw Deformity by CT Measurements.

Abstract

PURPOSE:

We evaluated the stability of orthognathic surgery in the treatment of unilateral condylar osteochondroma combined with jaw deformity.

PATIENTS AND METHODS:

Patients with unilateral condylar osteochondroma and jaw deviation deformity who had undergone surgery at the Ninth People's Hospital of Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine from July 2014 to March 2017 were enrolled. The operation included a low condylectomy and both Le Fort I osteotomy and bilateral mandibular sagittal split osteotomies. ProPlan CMF, version 1.4, software (Materialise, Leuven, Belgium) was used to reconstruct and measure the preoperative, immediately postoperative, and follow-up (>6 months) maxillofacial computed tomography images. The position of the jaw and contralateral condyle and remodeling of the affected side were compared during follow-up.

RESULTS:

Eight patients were included in the present study. The canting of the maxilla was significantly decreased postoperatively, and the contralateral condyle had rotated inward. The position of the maxillary and contralateral condyles was stable during follow-up, and the posterior aspect of the affected condyle demonstrated significant resorption.

CONCLUSIONS:

The results of single-stage surgery combined with orthognathic surgery and condylar osteochondroma resection were stable, and the affected condyle stump had adaptively reconstructed.
