Anatomical shape of the mandibular ramus, which includes the area from the rear of the mandibular second molar to the mandibular posterior border and from the mandibular sigmoid notch to the inferior mandibular border, must be carefully considered to perform orthognathic surgery. The locations of the lingula and mandibular foramen in medial side of mandibular ramus are one of the most important factors to decide the location of the horizontal medial osteotomy in sagittal split ramus osteotomy and to select the line of vertical osteotomy in intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy. Sixty-five different Korean human dry mandibles were surveyed. All mandible have permanent dentition including complete eruption of the mandibular second molar. The locations of the lingula and mandibular foramen in medial side of the ramus were identified and following results were obtained. Anterior ramal horizontal distance from lingula was $16.13{\pm}3.53mm(range:8.6{\sim}24.3mm)$, anterior ramal horizontal distance from mandibular foramen was $23.91{\pm}4.79mm(range: 14.1{\sim}39.7mm)$, horizontal width of mandibular foramen was $2.79{\pm}0.95mm(range:1.5{\sim}6.1mm)$, height of lingula was $10.51{\pm}3.84mm(range:3.1{\sim}22.4mm)$, vertical distance from sigmoid notch to lingula was $19.82{\pm}5.11mm(range:9.1{\sim}35.3mm)$. From this study, the result could be used to select the location of osteotomy lines and to decide amount of periosteal elevation to avoid injury of neurovascular bundle, and to accomplish the appropriate split in Korean patients in mandibular orthognathic surgery.

본 연구의 목적은 소아 청소년에서 발생한 하악 과두 골절의 빈도, 원인, 골절의 임상적 양상 및 치료 방법에 대한 후향적 분석을 통해 연령에 따른 하악 과두 골절의 임상적 특징 및 치료방법을 조사하는 것이었다. 최근 10년간 아주대학교 치과병원에서 하악 과두 골절로 진단받고 치료받은 만 15세 이하의 환자 44명을 대상으로 후향적 분석을 시행하였다. 하악골 골절 중 하악 과두 골절의 빈도는 환아의 연령이 어릴수록 높았다. 하악 과두 골절의 원인으로 넘어짐의 비율이 가장 높았다. 만 4 - 7세 군에선 과두부(condyle head) 골절이 91.7%를 차지하였으며, 연령이 증가할수록 과두경부(condyle neck) 골절 비율이 증가하였다. 하악 과두 골절 환아의 54.5%에서 하악 정중부 골절이 동반되었으며, 정중부 골절이 동반된 경우 구치부 치아 손상 빈도는 하악 과두 골절 단독인 경우에 비해 높았다. 44명 환아 중 43명에서 보존적 치료가 시행되었으며, 양측 과두의 심각한 골편 변위를 가진 1명 환아에서 관혈적 수술이 시행되었다. 본 연구 결과는 소아 청소년에서 발생한 하악 과두 골절의 진단 및 치료 계획 수립에 의미있는 자료로 적용될 수 있을 것이다.

The fibula free flap has now become the most reliable and frequently used option for mandible reconstruction. Recently, three dimensional images and printing technologies are applied to mandibular reconstruction. We introduce our recent experience of mandibular reconstruction using three dimensionally planned fibula free flap in a patient with gunshot injury. The defect was virtually reconstructed with three-dimensional image. Because bone fragments are dislocated from original position, relocation was necessary. Fragments are virtually relocated to original position using mirror image of unaffected right side of the mandible. A medical rapid prototyping (MRP) model and cutting guide was made with 3D printer. Titanium reconstruction plate was adapted to the MRP model manually. 7 cm-sized fibula bone flap was designed on left lower leg. After dissection, proximal and distal margin of fibula flap was osteotomized by using three dimensional cutting guide. Segmentation was also done as planned. The fibula bone flap was attached to the inner side of the prebent reconstruction plate and fixed with screws. Postoperative evaluation was done by comparison between preoperative planning and surgical outcome. Although dislocated condyle is still not in ideal position, we can see that reconstruction was done as planned.
