Abstract
dc.description.abstract
Reconstruction of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) for congenital or acquired deformities is a
major challenge for maxillofacial surgeons. The alternatives for reconstructing the TMJ include free
grafts (costochondral, iliac crest, clavicle, or metatarsus), free flaps (fibula), osteogenic distraction,
and alloplastic grafts. The lack of biological knowledge of cartilaginous grafts and their reaction to
the environment of the TMJ is largely responsible for the inability to predict growth. This report
describes the use of a free flap for TMJ reconstruction.
