Abstract:
The case of a 17- year-old female patient with a destructive aneurysmal bone cyst of the right mandibular condyle is presented. Surgery revealed an eggshell thin, partly perforated remaining condylar cortex with extension of the lesion into the surrounding soft tissues. Condylar resection with curettage of the adjacent soft tissues and recurrence prophylaxis with intranasal calcitonin for 1 week could not prevent recurrence after 6 months. In a second operation the ascending mandibular ramus was partly resected and immediately reconstructed with a newly developed alloplastic condylar head add-on system. This time the lesion was intraoperatively completely surrounded by solid cortical bone.

Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

Articulating Projections
Articulating projections are found where two bones meet to form a joint. These structures are usually found at the ends of bones. The largest articulation is a rounded projection called the head, supported by a narrow neck at the ends of...

Spongy Bone
Spongy bone is more porous, and less dense compared to compact bone. It is composed of concentric lamellae that are arranged irregularly to form the trabecular network. In some bones, the spaces between trabeculae contain red marrow, where...
