What is this procedure?
« on: July 14, 2018, 02:41:11 AM »
I ruled out a ZSO as the cut is being made quite far back on the arch but I could be wrong.

Anyone?

I think that's a zsso.

Zygomatic Sagittal Split Osteotomy (ZSSO): in this technique the zygomatic arch is isolated from its temporal origin to its zygomatic insertion both on its lateral and medial surfaces a sagittal full thickness osteotomy of the zygomatic arch is performed. Later, 2 separate partial thickness osteotomies: one on the arch’s osteotomies are connected with the previously released sagittal osteotomy. After correction of the zygomatic arch according to presurgical programs. Stabilization is achieved using bicortical titanium screws.

Sandro Pelo is one of the authors. He's well known on this board, no?

I don't know what procedure it's meant to illustrate. It's just (some kind) of oesteotomy of the zygomatic arch which technically speaking is (part of) the temporal bone. Perhaps done to make wider and/or higher bone prominence to SIDES.
Please. No PMs for private advice. Board issues only.

May ask Pelo about this. I'm interested to know how the masseter would react if such a procedure was performed.
