Abstract
The sagittal split osteotomy of the mandibular ramus is a common procedure used in
the correction of mandibular deformities. Modifications of the procedure will be presented
for advancement and setback of the mandible. Major advantages of this technique include
controlled splitting of the segments and predictable positional control of the proximal
segment. The advantages and disadvantages of rigid skeletal stabilization are discussed,
as well as application to the modified mandibular ramus sagittal split osteotomy.
