    Author: Lata J, Kapila BK.
    Journal: Quintessence Int; 2000 Jun; 31(6):412-4. PubMed ID: 11203958.
    Abstract:
    A 16-year-old girl had a history of unilateral ankylosis of the temporomandibular joint, which was reconstructed with an autogenous costochondral graft. About 2.5 years after surgery, the patient presented with overgrowth of the costochondral graft, resulting in deviation of the jaw toward the unaffected side.
