Complications of Subcranial LeFort III and Monobloc Distraction, with and without Facial Bipartition, using Rigid External Distractors
Severe midface hypoplasia associated with syndromic craniosynostosis often requires midface advancement. There is a paucity of literature regarding the incidence of complications associated with midface and frontofacial advancement using rigid external distraction. A 10 year retrospective review was performed for patients with syndromic craniosynostosis who underwent subcranial Le Fort III or monobloc distraction with rigid external distraction, with and without facial bipartition, at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital in Liverpool, United Kingdom. A comprehensive review of the demographic information, operative and postoperative course was completed.

Stability of maxillomandibular complex counterclockwise rotation in orthognathic surgery
In orthognathic surgery alterations of the occlusal plane by clockwise rotation (CWR) or counterclockwise rotation (CCWR) of the maxillomandibular complex allow for enhanced functional and esthetic results. Previous studies evaluating the post-operative stability of CCWR movement of the maxillomandibular complex showed relatively high rates of relapse. However, with improved rigid fixation and virtual surgical planning CCWR movements of the maxillomandibular complex is now thought to be more stable post-operatively, although there is a paucity of literature to support this. The aim of the study is to precisely evaluate the post-operative stability of counterclockwise rotational movement of the maxillomandibular complex utilizing three dimensional imaging and Mimics software.
