Computer-assisted horizontal translational osseous genioplasty: a simple method to correct chin deviation.


ABSTRACT: Background:Different genioplasty techniques are applied for the adjustment of chin area deformities such as chin deviation. Results:Thirty patients with simple facial asymmetry due to chin deviation underwent computer-assisted horizontal translational osseous genioplasty. In this technique, a surgical guide was used to cut a bone strip from the side where the chin should be transferred to; then, the same bone strip was used for the filling of the gap that was formed on the opposite side. Conclusion:According to the experience gained from this study, the authors believe that computer-assisted horizontal translational osseous genioplasty is a simple and reliable technique for patients with facial asymmetry due to chin deviation.
