  • Title: [Unilateral post-fracture ankylosis and facial growth in infants: therapeutic considerations (author's transl)].
    Author: Deffez JP, Gross D, Brethaux J.
    Journal: Rev Stomatol Chir Maxillofac; 1980; 81(5):315-9. PubMed ID: 6934601.
    Abstract:
    Ankylosis of this type should be treated as early as possible. Resection of the ankylosed block should be avoided, and all that is required is reconstruction of a new condyle, subjacent to meniscal remnants that are usually present. As large as possible an inter-fragment space is obtained by forced lowering of the vertical branch, which is maintained in position by a blocking apparatus with a maximal molar gap. The validity of these principles is supported by the results in the case reported, after a lapse of 5 years.
