Cosmesis: 0—no deformity compared with preoperative state, 1—mild deformity, 2—moderate deformity, 3—severe deformity
Occlusion: Patient’s score—Good (2): occlusion same as prior to surgery on both sides, Fair (1): occlusion same as prior to surgery on one side, and Poor (0): not the same as prior to surgery
Surgeon’s score—Excellent (3): satisfactory bilaterally and the same as before injury, Good (2): satisfactory bilaterally but different from before injury, Fair (1): only satisfactory unilaterally and the same as before injury and Poor (0): unsatisfactory bilaterally and different from before injury
Mastication: Excellent (3): normal chewing bilaterally and on normal diet, Good (2): normal chewing unilaterally and on normal diet, Fair (1): on soft diet, and Poor (0): unable to chew bilaterally
Paraesthesia: 2—No change compared with preoperative sensation, 1—altered or decreased sensation, and 0—loss of sensation
