G C Foo

Ten cases of Skeletal III jaw deformity were treated surgically. The specific criteria used in the clinical assessment are emphasised. Preoperative workup consisting of clinical assessment, cephalometric studies, model surgeries and photographic slides are presented. The rationale for selecting the type of osteotomy in each case is given. Preoperative and post operative patient management is discussed. Results are presented and the management of complications encountered are discussed.
