Intraoral quadrangular Le Fort II osteotomy

Le Fort II osteotomy for medium-face fracture sequel correction

“…Its purpose is to return the function with an acceptable occlusion and facial harmony. In cases of deficiency of the middle third of the face, the Le Fort II osteotomy may be indicated [7,8,10].…”

Evaluation of facial aesthetics by laypersons in patients undergoing intraoral quadrangular Le Fort II osteotomy compared with conventional Le Fort I osteotomy

“…A possible downside of IQLFII osteotomy is the increased risk of nerve damage and fracture of the thin anterior wall of the maxilla. However, a modification of the technique as initially described by Keller and Sather 24 ensures minimization of surgical risks with respect to nerve damage, damage to orbital content, bleeding and swelling 5 . The use of an angulated piezotome enables a safe cut along the anterior orbital rim without putting the infraorbital nerve at risk.…”

Indications of Lefort osteotomies for facial deformities induced by craniosynostosis

“…The intraoral quadrangular Le Fort II osteotomy as initially described by Keller and Sather in 1987 has proved to be a suitable method for correction of midfacial deficiency with flattening of the suborbital areas but a normal projection of the nose [8] [21].…”
