Abstract

In the case of the trauma on the maxillofacial region occurred, we think that one of the most important thing is recovery of the function as well as reconstruction of the anatomical form. Especially, it has been that the structure of the surrounded temporomandibular joint has a great possibility to cause mouth opening limitation when a bit of displacement is caused. Therefore, in the case of the trauma on mid-face we think that we treat it after complete evaluate condition of soft and hard tissue surrounding the articular disc as well as fracture site. We report results of our study, since we obtained good results from our study concerning the refixation of the zygomatic arch, high condylectomy, coronoidectomy and myotomy for the patient being suffered from the arthrosis of the temporomandibular joint caused by insufficient fracture treatment of zygomatic arch and coronoid process.
