The evolution of Orthognathic principles and practices, combined with knowledge of recent advances, helps the clinician more effectively treat challenging clinical problems.
Coordinated comprehensive treatment planning primarily between the orthodontist and the orthognathic surgeon will help improve patient outcomes and decrease complications. Continuing education benefits clinicians by exposing them to new knowledge in the field, which in turn, leads to improved patient outcomes.
myAO is offering you the following exclusive selection of "knowledge gems" around Orthognathic surgery.

AO CMF Lighthouse Course—Orthognathic Surgery (with Human Anatomical Specimens)
Arthroscopic procedures can be performed on all joints. They are commonly used on the knee, shoulder and ankle joints, and less often on hips, elbows and other joints.
Children may experience several types of pediatric spinal deformity, including scoliosis, kyphosis and spondylolisthesis. While many pediatric spinal deformities can be treated conservatively, with physical therapy or bracing, some require surgery.
Arthroplasty is commonly used to treat acute fracture of the proximal femur, complex proximal humerus fracture or elbow fracture, but is less usual in complex knee fracture.
Pelvic and acetabular fractures (PAFs) are among the most serious injuries treated by orthopedic surgeons and require rapid and precise treatment. In response, AO Trauma's pelvis education task force is working on the definition of a curriculum to address these challenges.
Recent developments in imaging technology have allowed for rapid processing and visualization of significant amounts of data yielded from a variety of digital imaging modalities. Prerequisites have been established for three-dimensional (3D) visualization as well as programs for the computer-assisted 3D planning of surgical procedures, and these image sources are now available to assist the surgeon in the operating room.
Small animal cases can pose unique challenges for veterinary orthopedic surgery. In this clinical topic roundup, you´ll find an exclusive selection of AOVET´s knowledge gems on Small Animal Orthopedics.
Operative planning and management of cranial trauma is complex, varying by fracture and location. Surgery is often required for compound or depressed fractures significant enough to damage underlying tissue.
