Condylotomy. (A) Schematic drawing of the osteotomy: Pre-operative 3D-CT image shows the right side of the patient. The planned osteotomy was mapped into a dotted line drawn on the image. (B) 3D-CT 12 months after the surgery: Functional reposition of the right condyle to an anterior position and consequent shortening in transverse extension of the mandibular incisure was observed. (C) Intra-oral view during surgery: The overlap of the posterior segment (ramus and condyle) over the remaining segment of the mandible was possible to be observed. This technique does not use metal fixation.
