[Combined orthognathic surgery for fractures reduction, in mandibular prognathic patients].

Abstract

Fractures of the facial skeleton require immediate reduction, in order to avoid functional and esthetic disorders. But in cases where the patient had already a facial deformity such as prognathism, a combination with sagittal splitting osteotomy operation is indicated, for reduction of the fracture and the deformity as well, in one stage. We present two such cases, with satisfactory results.
