Introduction
This thread is about how the OG hardmaxx named lefort I osteotomy was invented.
We'll understand how this fracture was found and how it was later used by surgeons.
I put this in this section since it's genuinely really good to know about this stuff since this is what makes us chads, and besides that it's really interesting as well and off-topic isn't worthy of it

Who was he?
Born on march 30, 1869, in Lille, France, and died on his 82nd birthday in 1951. the same day he was born. he was born in a northern industrial city with tuff and peak medical institutions at the time.
He was from a very high iq and medical family, his father was a physician, and his uncle (also his godfather btw) Léon Clément Le Fort was a highly respected surgeon, professor, and anatomist in Paris
Le Fort himself was destined for medicine. he earned his degree in 1890 with a thesis on cranio cerebral topography which is basically a guide for surgeons which shows which area of the is skull corresponded/related to which part of the brain underneath.
Just two years later, when he was around 21, he became one of the youngest doctors in france who earned his MD in 1890.
His thesis focused on cranio cerebral topography and its surgical applications, which I explained above nigga
Not just that but bud even served as a french army surgeon and served in both world wars making him even more of chad

The greatest invention
You might already know this tbh, but let's just explain it here.
While nowadays retarded normies waste their time doing mewing, chewing, thumbpulling, and put rods up their assholes in order to "ascend"
But back in the time, this madlad was doing some crazy stuff. In 1901, bro published his study called Étude expérimentale sur les fractures de la mâchoire supérieure which means "experimental fractures on the upper jaw."
Well Basically, he took around 35 cadaver heads in which some were still attached to bodies, some chopped off jfl) and straight up tested and tried to understand how'd the midface break under blunt force trauma. Nigga bonesmashed them
The brutal raw smashing phase

The brutal raw smashing phase
Le fort and his assistants applied uncontrolled blunt impacts in many directions and intensities.
They wanted to fully rape the skulls so used many methods like striking with wooden clubs, metal rods, or mallets. kicking, stomping, crushing in a vise, slamming against table edges or doors, and even dropping heavy objects
after all that brutal bonesmashing, and the impact, soft tissues were often removed (mostly by boiling) to see the clean bone fracture patterns
After all that that Shi, unc noticed something that the mid face doesn’t just shatter randomly. It cracks along the same “weak lines” every time. and the big giveaway? every major break hits the pterygoid plates at the back, where the upper jaw connects to the skull base.
He then broke it down into three main patterns which is still used and has saved many lives
Le Fort I : The upper teeth and palate get completely separated from the rest of the face like slicing right above the teeth but below the nose and eyes.
Le Fort II : A triangle shaped break that goes through the nose, maxilla, and bottom of the eye sockets.
Le Fort III : The whole mid face like cheekbones, orbits, everything gets totally ripped away from the skull base
I won't yap anymore, if you didn't understand you're a monkey jfl

The major evolution from smashing to precise osteonomies
Surgeons realized that these fractures could be intentionally recreated instead of waiting for some trauma to randomly fracture the bones, they would do very controlled surgical cuts or osteonomies along the same lefort levels to reposition or mobilize the maxila safely without botching
Who did it first?
David Williams cheevar
In 1868 he did a "double operation" in boston to remove a big nasopharyngeal tumor by temp fracturing the or cutting the maxilae, but just for a success, lol.
Martin wassmund/Herman wassmund
In 1927 he developed a two-step procedure for open bite cases with a partial Le Fort I level cut
He’d make all the cuts, but then use orthopedic traction afterward to gradually pull the maxilla into the right spot instead of moving it all at once during surgery which was still a very, very big step.
He basically said let's just cut the move the maxila and slay

Then others leveled it up. In 1934, Axhausen aka Auxhausen took it further by being one of the first to fully mobilize the maxilla and reposition it on the spot to close an open bite which was Def an actual intraoperative movement.
after that, Schuchardt in 1942 made it even better by properly separating the pterygomaxillary junction, making it easier to slide the maxilla forward for advancements.
And ye later work like by william bell proved the blood supply could handle a full down fracture, making the whole thing safer and way more predictable and making the chances of getting botched very less.
Then higher Lefort osteonomies came, and they're used for nigger midface fixes, no no I mean bigger.

Conclusion
Lefort one wasn't a surgery which was invented the way it is now, it was rape smashing them at start then other doctors/surgeons worked on it to make them precise osteonomies to reposition the maxila without hitting your head with a rod. Thanks and RIP to all the surgeons/doctors who worked on this, especially to the GODFATHER of hardmaxxing DR Le fort.
Le Fort basically beating up cadavers in 1901 gave surgeons the perfect anatomical roadmap.
A few days ago it was his birthday, I wish I could make it on that day.
Hope you learned something new and cool related to LOOKSMAXXING!
