The genioglossus muscle attachment originates from the superior genial tubercle, which has a variable topography and amplitude. However, the muscle is not centered on the spines-more of the muscular fibers attach above the spine as compared to below. This new data may explain the genioglossus advancement "miss rate"-failure to advance muscle on initial osteotomy-of 39-78% reported in the literature.
