Management of mandibular condylar osteochondroma combining low condylectomy and bilateral sagittal split osteotomy: A case report

Abstract

Osteochondroma is a benign cartilaginous tumor rarely found in the maxillofacial region, most often affecting the mandibular condyle and leading to progressive facial asymmetry, malocclusion, and temporomandibular dysfunction. The reported case described a 48-year-old female with unilateral condylar hyperplasia secondary to osteochondroma, successfully treated through a surgical approach combining low condylectomy and bilateral sagittal split osteotomy. Postoperative evaluation confirmed restored symmetry, joint function, and stable occlusion, demonstrating that the concurrent application of low condylectomy and orthognathic surgery provides excellent functional and esthetic outcomes.
