    Journal: J Craniofac Surg; 2007 Jul; 18(4):844-8. PubMed ID: 17667675.
    Abstract:
    Distraction osteogenesis is a useful technique in temporomandibular joint reconstruction after gap arthroplasty for ankylosis. We report a case of unilateral facial nerve paralysis during the distraction phase of treatment in a patient with temporomandibular joint ankylosis who was treated with gap arthroplasty and distraction osteogenesis. The clinical course is described and discussed.
