Popis: The inferior border wire, as originally described by Booth, is a well-accepted means of fixation of the proximal and distal segments in the sagittal split osteotomy. However, it appears that there is some criticism of the technique because of the difficulty in placing drill holes at the appropriate position and angulation and subsequent difficulty with passage of a fixation wire. The technique presented here eliminates the technical difficulties and provides for a rapid, safe, and stable fixation.
