Abstract
|
|
|
We performed costochondral grafting in mmandibular reconstruction including condyle replacement in 5 patients which have 4 cases of ameloblastoma, 1 case of resorption of left condyle due to osteomyelitis. We harvested the 6 th costochondral
cartilage
of unaffected side. No specific complications were appeared with unexpected fracture of costochondral junction and infection of operation site, These patients show 30-45mm at mouth opening near normal of affected side, near normal or normal of
unaffected side at lateral excursion. Postoperative coureses was uneventful with improved cosmetic and functional results.
Our report is indicated that the costochondral graft is satisfactory to reconstruct mandibular defect including condyle replacment, especially in growing patients.
