Summary

This study aims to evaluate postoperative condylar remodeling in patients undergoing bimaxillary orthognathic surgery by comparing two different proximal segment positioning techniques used during mandibular osteotomy. Condylar remodeling will be assessed using preoperative, immediate postoperative, and 6-month postoperative computed tomography (CT) scans together with clinical findings.

Conditions

  • Orthognathic Surgical Procedures

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Proximal Segment Rotation

During bimaxillary orthognathic surgery, after bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO), the proximal mandibular segment is rotated to achieve alignment of the inferior border of the proximal and distal mandibular segments before rigid fixation.

PROCEDURE

Inferior Border Osteotomy Without Proximal Segment Rotation

During bimaxillary orthognathic surgery, after bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO), the proximal mandibular segment is maintained in its preoperative position. Alignment of the mandibular inferior border is achieved by performing an additional osteotomy at the inferior border of the proximal segment without rotating the proximal segment before rigid fixation.
