Condylar resorption and functional outcome after unilateral sagittal split osteotomy

USSO appears to be a procedure that can be used in orthognathic surgery, if applied to a certain extent. In this study, there was no evidence of adverse results in terms of condylar resorption or functional outcome when compared with the results of regular bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) reported in the literature. To our best knowledge this is the first study in the literature investigating the impact of USSO in orthognathic surgery.
