Preoperative and postoperative temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) were observed in 72 patients before surgical-orthodontic treatment and about 2 years after bilateral sagittal split osteotomy. Prevalence and degree of TMD were assessed using the modified clinical dysfunction index of Helkimo. A total of 49 women and 23 men (mean age 32 years) were included in the study. To find out which patients benefit most from the treatment, the sample was classified into subgroups--myogenous, arthrogenous, or both components of TMD. The prevalence of clicking and headache decreased significantly with the treatment, while the incidence of crepitation increased. In general, severity of the dysfunction was greatly reduced. Furthermore, multiple regression analysis showed that patients with excessive overjet and previous occlusal splint therapy benefit most from orthognathic treatment. In addition, patients with signs of mainly myogenous origin got more relief from their dysfunction than patients with mainly arthrogenous components of TMD. The results suggest that in patients with severe maxillomandibular discrepancy surgical-orthodontic therapy is a good choice of treatment for reducing myogenous TMD pain and discomfort.

Effect of BSSRO on disc-condyle relationship of the temporomandibular joint in skeletal Class III malocclusion patients.
J Stomatol Oral Maxillofac Surg
January 2025
Nanjing Stomatological Hospital, Affiliated Hospital of Medical School, Institute of Stomatology, Nanjing University, Nanjing, China. Electronic address:
Purpose: To analyze dynamic and static changes in the disc-condyle relationship in patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion after orthognathic surgery.
Methods: The surgical group comprised 30 patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion, and the magnetic resonance imaging and mandibular movement data were obtained at T0 (preoperatively), T1 (3 months postoperatively), and T2 (at the end of orthodontic treatment). The control group included 20 patients with normal occlusion, and the mandibular movement data were recorded.

Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, School of Dentistry, Pusan National University Yangsan, Republic of Korea.
Purpose: This study aimed to quantitatively analyze temporomandibular joint (TMJ) space volume changes before and after bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSRO) with intended manual condyle positioning in patients with severe facial asymmetry.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted, including 20 patients with facial asymmetry (menton deviation >8 mm) who underwent BSSRO with intended manual condyle positioning at a single institution. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images were obtained preoperatively (T0), 2 days postoperatively (T1), and 6 months postoperatively (T2).
Effects of habitual foot strike patterns on patellofemoral joint and Achilles tendon loading in recreational runner.
Gait Posture
December 2024
Key Laboratory of Exercise and Health Sciences of Ministry of Education, Shanghai University of Sport, China. Electronic address:
Background: Most running biomechanics studies have focused on either the patellofemoral joint (PFJ) or Achilles tendon (AT) alone, generating fragmented understanding of how these structures interact as components of an integrated kinetic chain during running. This study was to investigate concurrent biomechanical changes in the PFJ and AT in recreational runners.
Methods: The recreational runners who are accustomed to run with rearfoot strike (RFS, n = 15) and forefoot strike (FFS, n = 15) patterns were recruited.
Sagittal Split Ramus Osteotomy Without Segmental Fixation in Skeletal Class II.
J Craniofac Surg
December 2024
Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Showa University School of Dentistry, 2-1-1 Kitasenzoku, Ota-ku, Tokyo.
The new orthognathic treatment strategy of non-segmental fixation (non-fix) sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) with jaw exercise initiation on the second postoperative day, the so-called physiological positioning strategy (PPS), induces good skeletal stability with few temporomandibular joint (TMJ) symptoms after surgery in skeletal class III. This study aimed to clarify whether non-fix SSRO with modified PPS can be applied to skeletal class II. This retrospective study included skeletal class II patients who underwent non-fix SSRO to correct mandibular retrognathia.
