Computer assisted positioning of the proximal segment after sagittal split osteotomy of the mandible: preclinical investigation of a novel electromagnetic navigation system

Modifications of the temporomandibular joint position after mandible osteotomy are reluctantly accepted in orthognathic surgery. To tackle this problem, we developed a new navigation system using miniaturized electromagnetic sensors. Our imageless navigation approach is therefore optimized to avoid complications of previously proposed optical approaches such as the interference with established surgical procedures and the line of sight problem.
