Abstract:
In 6 cases of bony ankylosis of temporo-mandibular joint the ribs withcastal cartilage were used to graft into the crevice of the bones after theirhaving been cut so as to form the new ones. The follow-up observation of1. 5-8 years after the operations has proved that this method is much betterthan others. The new joint formed can not only make the ascending ramusresume to the original longitude, but also show a point-facet contact. Inother words, the joint formed was similar to the normal one, and itsfunction was rather good and the curative effects proved satisfactory.Recurrence was rare and the function of the mandibular movement of theocclusion relation almost returned to normal. The paper also describes briefly some main points in regards to theoperation, reports several typical cases and puts forword the writer'sopinions for discussion.
