3. INTRODUCTION
Malocclusion after orthognathic
surgeries (BSSO, IVRO, lefort I
osteotomy) may be the result of
failure of rigid fixation at the
osteotomy site, occlusal shifts
during fixation or improper
condylar position.
4. • Condylar sag is most challenging to diagnose and treat
correctly. The most troublesome sequelae are skeletal
instability and anteroinferior condyle displacement (sag) with
resultant unpredictability of the postoperative mandibular
position.
• The term condylar sag was coined by Hall et al. in 1975.
• They described the influence of the condylar position on
postoperative occlusal stability following the release of IMF.

INTRODUCTION
5. Condylar sag can be defined as an immediate or late change
in position of the condyle in the glenoid fossa after surgical
establishment of a preplanned occlusion and rigid fixation of
the bone fragments, leading to a change in the occlusion.

DEFINITION
6. • Complications following Orthognathic surgery ranges
from 9.7-24.5 %
• Neural deficit- most common – 50.42%
• TMJ Dysfunction- 13.64%
• Hemorrhage-9.09%
7. • Incorrect vector during condylar positioning;
• An incomplete or green-stick split that prevents condylar seating;
• Muscular, ligamentous, or periosteal interference;
• Intra-articular hemorrhage or edema and flexing the proximal
segment while placing rigid fixation.

RISK FACTORS
8. • Condylar sag after IVRO has clinical significance and is
associated with improved mandibular function.
• Removal of masseter & medial pterygoid attachment
Condylar luxation
(lateral pterygoid muscle pulling the condyle forward)
9. 2 postulates
• Medial and forward displacement of the mandibular disk- by
the upper head of the lateral pterygoid muscle.
• After sectioning - the mandibular condyle is displaced in the
same direction as the disk - by the pull of the lower head of
the lateral pterygoid muscle.

25. Meticulous examination of the occlusion and an understanding
of the occlusal changes secondary to condylar sag can reliably
identify condylar sag intraoperatively. The use of suitable
corrective measures during the primary operation can
substantially reduce the postoperative complication rate of
condylar sag.

The need to accurately position the condyle in the glenoid fossa has been underlined by the increasingly common application of rigid fixation in BSSO.
Failure of which will lead to condylar sag
Generally, the condyle was located in an anterior and inferior position within the glenoid fossa.
following surgical procedure and with the use of training elastics, the condyle was gradually reseated in a centric relationship.
5 Condylar sag is a frequent finding after an IVRO. Immediately following surgical procedure, the condyles are positioned inferiorly and anteriorly within the glenoid fossa. During the postoperative follow-up period, superior and posterior repositioning of the condyle occur gradually. This condylar sag after IVRO has clinical significance and is associated with improved mandibular function.
Campbell developed 2 postulates to explain displacement following condylotomy. In the first, medial and forward displacement of the mandibular disk is brought about by the pull of the upper head of the external pterygoid muscle. Second, after sectioning, the mandibular condyle is displaced in the same direction as the disk by the pull of the lower head of the external pterygoid muscle.

Factors that may mimic Condylar Sag Intra-operatively
Mobility of the osteotomy site
Shift of Occlusion during placement of rigid fixation.
Medial pterygoid stripping limit
To minimize postoperative condylar sag after IVRO, Hall et al (1975) recommended limited stripping of the medial pterygoid muscle attachment, explaining that an osteotomy that was too near the posterior border of the vertical ramus would leave a small mass of muscle attached to the proximal segment, which might result in more sag.
PROCEDURES THAT RESULT IN LENGTHENING OF THE SOFT TISSUE ENVELOPE
quired to assure condylar seating. As noted, procedures that result in lengthening of the soft tissue envelope of the ramus, such as vertical lengthening of the maxillomandibular complex, can result in condylar sag.
a poorly designed vertical ramus osteotomy with a short proximal segment and/or if the extent of setback leaves insufficient medial pterygoid attachment, condylar sag and even condylar subluxation may result.4e6 In these situations, some form of internal fixation should be considered.
training elastics- centric relationship
following surgical procedure and with the use of training elastics, the condyle was gradually reseated in a centric relationship.
Muscle tone, muscular activity, and proprioception appear to have important roles in the clinical evidence of a postoperative malocclusion during the intraoperative awakening; they can reliably implement the accuracy of the diagnosis of condylar sag, and they can favor its correction.
