Many techniques have been developed since the first osteotomy for correction of retrognathism was performed in 1905. These techniques have been in two groups--those that are performed in the mandibular body and those that are performed in the mandibular ramus. Ramus procedures are more favored because there is less morbidity in comparison to body procedures. Regardless of the procedure used, an adequate preoperative evaluation based on oral and radiographic examinations, study models, cephalometric analysis, and photographs is mandatory to achieve satisfactory results. A more satisfactory result can almost always be attained if a cooperative effort is made by the oral surgeon and orthodontist in the treatment of retrognathism.
自1905年首次进行截骨术矫正下颌后缩以来，已经开发了许多技术。这些技术分为两组——在下颌体进行的技术和在下颌升支进行的技术。升支手术更受青睐，因为与下颌体手术相比，其发病率更低。无论采用何种手术，基于口腔和影像学检查、研究模型、头影测量分析和照片进行充分的术前评估对于取得满意的结果是必不可少的。如果口腔外科医生和正畸医生在治疗下颌后缩时共同努力，几乎总能获得更满意的结果。
