— A radiographic follow‐up of the temporomandibular joint in 25 patients subjected to oblique sliding osteotomy of the mandibular rami showed a remodeling of the condylar head. Distinct double contours in the posterior part of the condylar heads were found in 30 out of 36 joints with a forward‐inferior displacement of the condylar head.
