To study the surgical treatment of ankylosis of the temporomandibular joint.
Autogenous costochondral grafts were applied in the reconstruction of the temporomandibular joint in 27 cases with condyle ankylosis from 1988-1998. The follow up period was 1-10 years. The pre- and post-operative degree of mouth opening and the TMJ function was examined.
Postoperative mouth opening was improved up to 2 cm in the 27 cases. All the results were successful without recrudescence of condyle ankylosis.
The use of autogenous costochondral grafts in TMJ reconstruction is the best method in the treatment of TMJ ankylosis.
研究颞下颌关节强直的外科治疗方法。
1988年至1998年,对27例髁突强直患者应用自体肋软骨移植重建颞下颌关节。随访时间为1至10年。检查术前和术后的开口度及颞下颌关节功能。
27例患者术后开口度改善达2厘米。所有结果均成功,髁突强直无复发。
自体肋软骨移植用于颞下颌关节重建是治疗颞下颌关节强直的最佳方法。
