Four patients with temporomandibular ankylosis were treated according to the same therapeutic concepts, and good results were obtained. This was due to the surgical technique employed which respects meniscal elements and conserves or reconstructs the ascending ramus length, and to postoperative mobilization in mandibular propulsion and lateropulsion (by means of elastic tractions or palatine plate) over a period of several months.
4例颞下颌关节强直患者按照相同的治疗理念进行治疗，取得了良好的效果。这得益于所采用的手术技术，该技术尊重半月板结构并保留或重建升支长度，还得益于术后在几个月的时间里通过弹性牵引或腭板进行下颌前伸和侧方运动的活动训练。
