What is Long-Term Stability of Condylectomy and Costochondral Graft Reconstruction for Treatment of Idiopathic Condylar Resorption about?

## Purpose: To assess and update long-term outcomes of endoscopic condylectomy and costochondral graft (ccg) reconstruction for treatment of active idiopathic condylar resorption (icr). ## Patients and methods: This study is a continuation of a retrospective cohort study of patients with active icr who underwent bilateral condylectomies and ccg reconstruction from 1999 to 2016. predictor variables were demographic and operative factors. the primary outcome variable was occlusal stability, as defined by normal overbite (1 to 4 mm) at latest follow-up. overbite; overjet; the angle formed by the sella, nasion, and b point (snb); mandibular plane angle; and ramus-and-condyle unit height were measured. time points were preoperative (t0) and immediate (t1), 1 year (t2), 2 years (t3), 3 to 5 years (t4), and at least 5 years (t5) postoperative. descriptive and bivariate statistics were computed. a firth logistic regression model was used to identify variables associated with occlusal instability. ## Results: Twenty-six patients (25 female; mean age, 23.1 yr) who underwent bilateral endoscopic condylectomies and ccg reconstruction were included: 14 from the original cohort and 12 additional
