The bony segments were stabilized using either miniplates with two 2.0-mm monocortical screws per segment or three 2.0-mm bicortical lag screws along the mandible\u2019s superior border. Pre- and postoperative (7-day interval) spiral computed tomography scans were conducted to assess skeletal changes across both groups. Data analysis employed Wilcoxon signed-rank and Wilcoxon rank-sum tests (\u03b1\u2009=\u20090.05).<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>No statistically significant difference was observed between the pre-and postoperative condylar position parameters (P&gt;0.05). However, the lag screw group showed a marginal significant increase in the left condyle\u2019s angulation (preoperative: 24.83\u2009\u00b1\u20096.37 vs. postoperative: 32.5\u2009\u00b1\u20094.93; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.04). Changes in condylar height, length, and width were not statistically significant before and after BSSO in either groups (P&gt;0.05).
