Readers should note that this article, which appeared in print in August 2021 and is published online, has an error in the labelling in Tables 1 and 2 and Figures 9 and 10. In these tables and figures, ‘mm’ should be ‘cm’. The corrected versions of the tables and figures are shown below:
Table 1.
Skull size and the preoperative vertical range of mandibular motion for the rostral, middle, and caudal segmental mandibulectomies
| Rostral segmental mandibulectomy (n = 10) |
Middle segmental mandibulectomy (n = 10) |
Caudal segmental mandibulectomy (n = 10) |
P value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Skull size (cm) | 8.62 ± 0.82 (7.5–10) | 8.00 ± 0.48 (7.1–9.1) | 8.52 ± 0.52 (7.9–9.5) | 0.035 |
| Preoperative vertical range of mandibular motion (cm) | 4.67 ± 0.85 (3.6– 6.4) | 4.33 ± 0.46 (3.4–4.9) | 4.66 ± 0.61 (3.8–5.9) | 0.612 |
Data are mean ± SD (range). P <0.05 shows a significant statistical difference between the skull size
Table 2.
Comparison of the pre- and postoperative vertical range of mandibular motion for the rostral, middle and caudal segmental mandibulectomies
| Segmental mandibulectomy | n | Preoperative vertical range of mandibular motion (cm) |
Postoperative vertical range of mandibular motion (cm) |
P value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rostral | 10 | 4.67 ± 0.85 (3.6–6.4) | 2.1–2.8 (2.29) 0.21 | <0.001 |
| Middle | 10 | 4.33 ± 0.46 (3.4–4.9) | 3.55 ± 063 (2.5–4.5) | <0.001 |
| Caudal | 10 | 4.66 ± 0.61 (3.8–5.9) | 4.2 ± 0.61 (3.5–5.5) | <0.001 |
Data are mean ± SD (range). Significant statistical difference was observed between the pre- and postoperative vertical range of mandibular motion between the proposed mandibulectomies
Figure 9.
Relationship between the preoperative vertical range of mandibular motion and the size of the head. Larger heads showed a wider preoperative mouth opening; however, this was not statistically significant
Figure 10.
Relationship between the size of the removed segment of the mandible and the size of the head. Larger heads were associated with larger osteotomized bony segments; however, this was not statistically significant
