Little is known concerning the adaptation of the tongue and hyoid bone after surgical mandibular advancement. This study was undertaken to evaluate the relationship between tongue and hyoid bone posture and their adaptation following mandibular advancement in fourteen adults. The data indicate that (1) there is no statistically significant correlation between changes in the posture of the tongue and hyoid bone; (2) the hyoid bone returns toward its presurgical posture; and (3) the tongue assumes a new position relative to both the cranial base and the mandible. The changes in tongue position occurred immediately after surgery and persisted 2 years postoperatively.
关于下颌骨手术前移后舌骨和舌的适应性，目前所知甚少。本研究旨在评估14名成年人下颌骨前移后舌骨和舌的姿势之间的关系及其适应性。数据表明：（1）舌骨和舌的姿势变化之间无统计学显著相关性；（2）舌骨恢复到手术前的姿势；（3）舌相对于颅底和下颌骨呈现新的位置。舌位置的变化在手术后立即发生，并持续至术后2年。
