Active mandibular growth and hyperplasia can be difficult to quantify. Many patients may present for a combined surgical and orthodontic approach to management with modest but still technically active mandibular growth.

Current knowledge is largely limited to small-scale reports, expert opinion, and extrapolations from related literature. This study aimed to characterize the clinical indications of nonvascularized autogenous reconstruction (NVAR) and alloplastic reconstruction (APR) techniques, and to compare the hospital length of stay (LOS) and hospital charges (HC) in the United States (US). The National Inpatient Sample (NIS) from 2020 to 2022 were queried for common TMJ reconstruction indications, as well as for NVAR and APR. The weighted frequencies of the socio-demographic characteristics, surgical indications (intra-articular pain and dysfunction [IPD], ankylosis, acquired conditions, congenital deformities, pathology, other conditions), weighted mean hospital length of stay (LOS) and hospital charges HC) were calculated using discharge weights. There were 2150 weighted admissions involving NVAR (10.9%) and APR (89.3%). Several notable differences between the NVAR and APR populations included mean age (16.9 vs. 43.1 years), surgical indications (IPD 14.9% vs. 35.2%, acquired conditions 6.4% vs. 32.8%, pathology 6.4% vs. 21.1%), and LOS (11.5 vs. 3.6 days). Utilization for ankylotic joints (12.6% vs. 12.8%) and weighted mean HC ($177,235 vs. $177,377) did not show meaningful differences. Our findings show measurable differences in characteristics of NVAR and APR performed in the US, highlighting opportunities to develop evidence-based management decisions to balance tailored care and efficient resource utilization.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100051,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery","volume":"23 ","pages":"Article 100712"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148958788","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
