【 摘 要 】

The paper reports the short- and long-term results obtained from the multidisciplinary treatment of a congenital unilateral ankylosis of the temporomandibular joint associated to an embryonic malformation in a 12-year-old boy, using an external bidimensional distraction device with a two-fold purpose: as fixator to maintain the space achieved by arthroplasty, and as distractor to elongate the hypotrophic mandibular branch, activated 5 days after osteotomy, with the purpose of eliminating ankylosis and consecutive mandibular microlaterognatism, both functionally and dynamically.
