Objective:The aim of this study was to elucidate the physiological position of the proximal segment for postoperative jaw movement in patients with mandibular prognathism.Methods:Twenty-two patients with mandibular prognathism were treated by orthognathic surgery using bilateral mandibular sagittal split ramus osteotomies (SSRO) with a physiological positioning strategy. The skeletal stability was assessed, and the movement of the proximal segment was evaluated by cephalography and computed tomography performed preoperatively, immediately postoperatively, and one year postoperatively.Results: The patients were divided into two groups: the stable group (SNB relapse = 1.5 degrees). In the stable group at one year postoperatively, the average SNB relapse was only 0.29 degrees (7%), the condylar head had moved posteriorly by 0.75 mm, and the proximal segment had rotated counterclockwise by 1.2 degrees.Conclusion: This new physiological positioning strategy improves the position of the condyle compared with the preoperative position in patients with mandibular prognathism.
