Optimizing Osteotomy Geometries in Posterolateral Mandibulectomies
In this study, the traditional vertical osteotomy resulted in less favorable plate stresses in all loading scenarios compared with angled, step, or sagittal osteotomies, in silico and in vitro. Future clinical studies analyzing the impact of varying osteotomy geometries are warranted to translate these findings to the operating room.
