Choi NR, et al. - Authors assessed the maxillary stability following Le Fort I osteotomy using postero-superior movement after pterygoid plate fracture. They also evaluated the postoperative changes at the intentional pterygoid plate fracture site. Findings suggested a role of intentional fracture of the pterygoid plates in the retropositioning of the maxilla with good healing at the fracture site, little relapse, and satisfactory postoperative stability. At the 6 months postoperative time point, the maximal recurrence rate was less than 10%. Over the 6-month follow-up period, they did not note any major complications such as airway edema, hemorrhage, and nerve damage.
