The new triangle method effectively maintains condyle position after mandibular ramus surgery. This simple technique prevents temporomandibular joint issues and relapses, offering a reliable solution for surgeons.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Orthognathic Surgery
  • Surgical Techniques

Background:

  • Maintaining preoperative condyle position after mandibular ramus surgery is challenging.
  • Existing methods are often uncomfortable and impractical.
  • Current practices rely heavily on surgeon experience.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate a novel technique for condyle positioning.
  • To assess the efficacy and reliability of the triangle method in sagittal split ramus osteotomy.

Main Methods:

  • A new technique based on the triangle principle (triangle method) was developed.
  • The method was applied to 72 patients undergoing sagittal split ramus osteotomy.
  • Patients were followed for an average of 24.4 months.

Main Results:

  • No patients experienced postoperative temporomandibular joint problems.
  • No relapses related to incorrect temporomandibular joint position were observed.
  • The triangle method demonstrated high effectiveness in maintaining condyle position.

Conclusions:

  • The triangle method is a simple and reliable tool for condyle positioning.
  • It is an inexpensive and easy-to-learn technique for surgeons.
  • This method offers a practical solution for condylar positioning in mandibular ramus osteotomy.
