An unusual complication of lack of tearing after a Le Fort type I osteotomy for maxillary retrusion has been presented. A definite cause for the complication can only be postulated. The possibilities of this problem occurring may be prevented by more delicate use of osteotomes in the separation of the pterygoid plates.
