Abstract

In patient of long standing malunited maxillary fracture, maxillary osteotomy or refracture seems to be justifiable. This is a case of the patient, a 60 year old Korean female patient, presented a long-standing malunited maxillary fracture with dish-type face and functional disturbance in mouth opening. We performed upon her Le Fort I osteotomy only via labial-buccal horizontal incisions in one-stag operation. The result was good in esthetics and function.
