Özet
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis is one of the major complications following trauma and local or systemic infections and is rarely associated with systemic diseases such as ankylosing spondylitis and rheumatoid arthritis (1.2). The reconstruction of mandibular deformities in a patient with long-term TMJ ankylosis is challenging. The multiple requirements include reconstruction of the TMJ, reconstruction of mandibular asymmetry and soft tissue facial augmentation. Distraction osteogenesis (DO) has become a popular method for the management of the congenital and acquired mandibular deformities. After McCarthy introduced the first clinical application in a human mandible in 1992, many successful results have been reported with distraction osteogenesis for mandibular lengthening and widening and alveolar ridge augmentation (3-6). In recent years, papers involving TMJ reconstruction with distraction osteogenesis have been published (7.8). In this article, a patient with long-term TMJ ankylosis treated with distraction osteogenesis is described.
