Introduction to Contemporary Orthognathic Surgery

This book draws from the authors’ unique experiences as military surgeons to guide readers through orthognathic surgery from workup, planning, and maxillary and mandibular surgery to managing complications. Learn the best techniques and tips for performing Le Forts, bilateral sagittal split osteotomies, and maxillomandibular fixation. Adjunctive cosmetic surgeries, including genioplasty, are also reviewed. Throughout, the authors emphasize the critical thinking that informs medical decision making. This text is useful as both an introduction to orthognathic surgery for new residents and as a concise resource for staff and surgeons preparing for board examinations.
