This study was performed to investigate the impact of the split line on postoperative stability and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders (TMD) after sagittal split ramus osteotomy. Skeletal Class III malocclusion patients who underwent mandibular osteotomy with/without plate fixation between August 2008 and March 2023 were enrolled retrospectively. The osteotomy lines were divided into original sagittal split ramus (SSRO), short lingual (SLO), and short buccal (SBO) osteotomies.
