Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, University of Connecticut Health Center, Farmington.

Radiographs of 15 patients who underwent sagittal split mandibular ramus osteotomy with rigid miniplate fixation for mandibular lengthening were studied. Evaluation of postoperative stability of the mandibular lengthening at 6 months to 2 years revealed minimal postoperative changes.
