We report the outcomes of 12 patients with osteochondroma of the mandibular condyle who were treated by condylectomy with sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) between January 2011 and October 2015. Variables assessed before and after operation were imaging, appearance, maximum mouth opening, maximum mandibular protrusion, lateral excursion, and function of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Patients were followed up for a mean (range) of 21 (13 - 30) months. Outcomes were satisfactory with no complications or recurrence. Patients regained good occlusion and facial symmetry, and satisfactory function of the TMJ. Our results suggest that SSRO is a good option for condylar reconstruction after resection of mandibular condylar osteochondroma.
