Sumario:A novel maxillary osteotomy is designed which is a technical modification of the standard Le Fort I osteotomy, termed the paramedian unilateral Le Fort I osteotomy.

Its use may be extrapolated to various clinical situations to correct occlusal discrepancies including distraction osteogenesis.
