Patients only osteotomy were included in study. Information on collected from patient data records. The effects certain complication rates also studied. Twenty-four per cent suffered complications, six (6.1%) whom reoperated. Most minor transient. Compared with one-piece segmental a significant factor predisposing (p = 0.04619). Additionally, use patient-specific implants seemed increase both perioperative 0.0248). Currently, conventional plate fixation method is primary osteotomies.
