Objective: The concern that a sagittal split osteotomy of the mandibular ramus could compromise the subchondral vascularization and especially the venous outflow in the condylar area, which in turn could influence the structure of the condylar cartilage, prompted this preliminary study on goats.
Study Design: A sagittal split osteotomy was performed in the mandibular ramus at 1 side in each of 6 young adult goats. The contralateral side served as control. The animals were killed after different postoperative periods, ranging from 1 to 15 days. Histomorphometric analyses were performed after perfusion of the vascular system with India ink.
Conclusion: Based on the observed cartilage thickening, the sagittal split osteotomy may influence the condylar cartilage in the first days postoperatively through a disturbance of the vascular supply.

Change of TMJ Space Volume After Mandibular Setback BSSRO With Intended Manual Condyle Positioning in Severe Facial Asymmetric Patients.
J Craniofac Surg
December 2024
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.

Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and North Carolina State University, Chapel Hill, NC, USA. Electronic address:
Background: Older adults walk with a diminished foot and ankle push-off compared to younger adults and this difference may be a target for assistive devices. Dynamic mean ankle moment arm (DMAMA) is an aggregate measure of foot and ankle control that varies in younger adults across walking speeds and inclines.
Research Question: Does age affect DMAMA across a range of walking tasks designed to challenge power output from the ankle and foot?
Methods: We enrolled 12 healthy younger adults and 10 healthy older adults.

DDS, MSc, PhD, Post Doc Professor, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon. Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, School of Dentistry, University of Pernambuco, Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil.
Background: To describe a case of a patient with PFP after orthognathic surgery and discuss cases reports on temporary or permanent facial paralysis, factors that trigger injury, and treatment for facial paralysis associated with orthognathic surgery.
Material And Methods: This study has two parts: a report of the case of a 20- year-old man who underwent orthognathic surgery for facial paralysis, and an integrative literature review on postoperative facial paralysis following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statements and performed survival analyses of all cases reported to date.
Results: The analysis was composed of 33 patients; 54,5% were male (mean age, 25 years).
