A method of localisation and fixation for mid-facial osteotomies
The British Journal of Oral Surgery
|March 1, 1975
Abstract:
A preliminary report on a method of localisation and fixation for mid-facial osteotomies is described. The method depends on the localisation of the mandible in a predetermined open-mouth position, so allowing surgery to be performed with an oral tube. The method offers advantages in terms of surgical safety and accuracy. It is theoretically applicable to a wider range of osteotomies than the Le Fort II procedure described here.
