Abstract
Correction of facial asymmetry caused by active unilateral condylar hyperplasia (CH) requires proper diagnosis, arrested ongoing condylar growth, and ultimately orthognathic surgery. Traditionally, prior to performing orthognathic surgery, active CH is addressed either by: awaiting natural cessation of condylar overgrowth, or performing an interval high condylectomy (to stop growth). However, these strategies both add to the total treatment time, by either waiting and confirming no active growth, or performing a first stage growth-arresting procedure. In this report, the authors describe concurrent high condylectomy, and 3-jaw orthognathic surgery, to address the root of the problem and provide aesthetic correction in the same setting. This clinical series illustrates a detailed description of this approach, highlighting operative order, and an analysis of outcomes.
