Abstract
The periosteum plays an important role in bone growth and fracture healing. Mandibular outer cortex osteotomy inhibited the mandibular development and resulted in postoperative mandibular deviation in young miniature pigs. The simultaneous periosteum resection may offset the phenomenon of mandibular deviation to a certain extent.
