3-dimensional reconstructed CT image showing maxillomandibular osteotomy with simultaneous genioplasty and fixation with u-HA/PLLA composite bioabsorbable devices in a female patient with mandibular prognathism. Maxillary osteosynthesis was performed with four L-type mini-sized plates, and mandibular osteosynthesis was performed using bioabsorbable mesh and monocortical screws.
