An implant assembly and its method of use, used in computer-aided orthognathic surgery for properly repositioning a mobile bone segment separated by osteotomy from a malformed mandible, maxilla or chin, the implant assembly comprising fixation bone plates, at least one removable alignment plate for proper pre-osteotomy placement of the implant assembly onto the mandible, maxilla or chin, at least one removable post-osteotomy alignment plate for proper positioning of the mobile bone segment relative to the mandible, maxilla or chin, and a removable cutting guide for guiding the osteotomy saw during separation of the mobile bone segment from the mandible, maxilla or chin.

Orthognathic surgical implant assembly having pre-osteotomy and post-osteotomy alignment members

A maxillofacial orthognathic fixation implant assembly and its method of production and use, the implant being an assembly of an upper anchor implant member, a lower anchor implant member and at least one bridging implant member, the anchor implant members being adapted to be securely mounted to a maxilla and the at least one bridging implant member being adapted to connect the upper anchor implant member to the lower anchor implant member in a fixed and rigid manner. With the anchor implant members affixed to the maxilla and the maxilla surgically separated between the upper and lower anchor implant members to create a lower portion detached an upper portion, the at least one bridging implant member is connected between the upper and lower anchor implant members to secure and maintain the lower portion of the maxilla in a desired post-operative position relative to the upper portion of the maxilla.
