This study evaluated the accuracy and clinical utility of virtual surgical planning (VSP) and CAD\/CAM fabricated patient-specific implants (PSIs) for the secondary correction of post-traumatic mandibular condyle deformities.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Accuracy of condylar segment repositioning was quantified by comparing the virtually planned joint surface with the actual postoperative same surface of the condylar head using Mimics and 3-Matic software (Materialise, Leuven, Belgium). Deviation was calculated by two methods: the Part Comparison Analysis (PCA) function of the analysis software and by measuring distances between four corresponding reference points on the planned and final segments.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The mean deviation between planned and final joint surfaces was 2.27\u00a0mm (range 4.69) with the PCA method and 2.56\u00a0mm (range: 8.99) with the reference-point method. No significant difference was observed between high and low condylar osteotomies. Accuracy was greatest along the lateromedial axis (1.83\u00a0mm; range: 6.98\u00a0mm) and lowest in the craniocaudal axis (3.30\u00a0mm; range: 6.75\u00a0mm).
