[Application and development of orthognathic surgery in treatment of syndromic craniosynostosis]
1The Second Department of Craniomaxillofacial Surgery, Plastic Surgery Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, Beijing, 100144, P. R. China.
Objective:
To summarize the application and recent development of orthognathic surgery in treating syndromic craniosynostosis.
Methods:
The related literature at home and abroad in recent years was extensively reviewed, and the indications, routine procedures, and protocols of orthognathic surgery in the treatment of syndromic craniosynostosis were summarized and analyzed.
Results:
Craniosynostosis is a common congenital craniofacial malformation. Syndromic craniosynostosis usually involves premature fusion of multiple cranial sutures and is associated with other deformities. Orthognathic surgery is the necessary and effective means to improve the midfacial hypoplasia and malocclusion. Le Fort I osteotomy combined with sagittal split ramus osteotomy are the common surgical options. Orthognathic surgery should combine with craniofacial surgery and neurosurgery, and a comprehensive long-term evaluation should be conducted to determine the best treatment plan.
Conclusion:
Orthognathic surgery plays an important role in the comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of syndromic craniosynostosis. The development of digital technology will further promote the application and development of orthognathic surgery in the treatment of syndromic craniosynostosis.

01:22Sutures of the Skull
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...
01:27Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
