Not generally only BSSO,but many other orthognathic procedures. Just to disclaim,this doesn’t always happen and also doesn’t mostly happen. But especially when your mandible is extremely recessed,you have a higher chance of something called condylar resorption.

This is the condyle, the anchor of your mandible basically which most people know. But also,this area during development has something called the condylar cartilage, which in simplified is basically the growth plate of your jaw.

This is how the the common case of condylar resorption can be,
But here is a more severe example:

How does this happen?

After a bilateral sagittal split osteotomy,it’s not just the mandibular body that is brought fowards,your whole mandible has to adjust to this new position including the condyle. It’s another reason why this usually happens to very recessed patients,since their mandible does not have the base to properly adapt to this new position. This would lead to bone resorption in the TMJ,which not only does affect your TMJ,but your entire mandible after a specific period of time.


If this happens after a BSSO:
Will your mandibular body shrink in length? Depends on severity.
Will your jaw grow more downwards (CW rotation)? Most likely indeed.
Will you have TMJ discomfort or maybe pain? Most likely.
Will your chin and alveolar process be effect? Depends on severity.
Will your bone mineral density be impacted? Highly likely.

getting bsso is not good enough for most people, also the fixation plates and screws play a important role into this, also depeding on the amount of advancement can increase the relapse risk.

I can say the same for me on you
also the relapse risk is also very dependent on the surgeons skill and advancement plan, the plates and screws used to hold the osteotomy in place also play a super important role, stronger fixation with tighter and stronger titanium plates usually avoids this. But even with this if the advancement is to much the relapse risk will dramatically increase Mandy Mandy

I’m aware and I do agree

the problem with some of the stats and info for relapse risk in bsso and jaw surgery in general sometimes the forget to take into account the surgeons skill and the type of fixation device used, and also the advancement needed, they usually left out this parts.
