Abstract:
Ankylosis of the temporomandibular joint was treated by resection of the ankylosed block and arthroplasty with an osteo-cartilage graft from the rib. The main feature was attaching the cartilage to the bony surface and the appearance of enchondral ossification. The value of this method is discussed.
