The plastic model experiment represents an idealized procedure with highly accurate patient-to-model registration error (0.727 mm and 0.306 mm for the plastic skull model donor and recipient, compared with 1.22 mm and 0.745 mm for the human cadaver donor and recipient, respectively), leading to improved tracking of the donor fragment when placing on the recipient. This achieves improved accuracy in comparing intraoperative to postoperative cephalometric measurements. The largest error comparing planned to posttransplant measurements in the plastic skull model (B–A, 1.97 mm) is on par with the largest error exhibited by the control measure (Go–Me, 2.24 mm). As such, the plastic model experiment may represent the potential best-case scenario for real-time cephalometry. The human cadaver experiment comparison of post–face-jaw-teeth transplantation and planned outcome measurements showed large differences in Me–Na (5.98 mm), and SNA (4.33 degrees)/SNB (3.03 degrees) angles (Table 5). In the comparison of predicted intraoperative values relative to obtained postoperative values, overbite (3.65 mm), B–A (5.31 mm), Me–ANS (4.38 mm), and Me–Na (5.98 mm) showed the greatest variation (Table 5). The error associated with these measurements comes mainly from two sources: (1) landmark identification error and (2) navigation and registration error. Landmark identification error has been the subject of many studies.27–30 A meta-analysis of several studies on landmark identification and reproducibility showed total identification error of approximately 0.81 mm,31 which is similar to the control error for the plastic Fig. 6.
