    Summary

    This study details the anatomical topography of palatine canals and pterygoid structures, crucial for jaw osteotomy. It confirms that key arteries supplying the maxilla typically remain intact during surgery due to numerous anastomoses.

    Blood and Nerve Supply to the Bones01:29

    Blood and Nerve Supply to the Bones

    Bones are dynamic organs that require a rich supply of oxygen and nutrients. Around 5% to 10% of the cardiac output supplies blood to the bones. A typical long bone has three main sources: the nutrient artery, the metaphyseal and epiphyseal arteries, and the periosteal arteries.
    Nutrient Artery
    The nutrient artery is the main blood vessel that enters the diaphysis via the nutrient foramen. While most long bones have only one nutrient foramen, large bones, such as the femur, may have two. This...

    Area of Science:

    • Anatomy
    • Oral Surgery
    • Vascular Anatomy

    Context:

    • Jaw osteotomy involves complex anatomical structures.
    • Understanding the vascular supply to the maxilla is critical for surgical planning.
    • Palatine canals, pterygoid structures, and related sutures are key anatomical landmarks.

    Purpose:

    • To provide detailed anthropometric data on the topography of specific craniofacial structures.
    • To analyze the vascular anatomy of the maxilla in relation to segmental osteotomy.
    • To identify the status of major arteries supplying the maxilla during jaw osteotomy.

    Summary:

    • Anthropometric measurements were used to map the topography of palatine canals, pterygoid bone sprouts, and pterygopalatine/pterygomaxillary sutures.
    • These anatomical features house vital nerves and blood vessels relevant to jaw osteotomy.
    • The study found that the descending palatine artery, pterygopalatine artery, upper posterior alveolar artery, and infraorbital artery generally remain intact after segmental osteotomy, owing to extensive arterial anastomoses.

    Impact:

    • Provides essential anatomical data for surgeons performing maxilla osteotomies.
    • Enhances understanding of vascular resilience in the craniofacial region during surgery.
    • Contributes to improved surgical techniques and reduced risk of vascular complications in oral and maxillofacial procedures.
