Figure 2

(a) The patient (Case  1) is not able to open her mouth due to reankylosis. (b) CT reveals reankylosis at the right TMJ five years after the first surgical treatment. (c, d) Panorex shows horizontal resection of the ramus via subankylotic approach. (e) The prosthesis creates a barrier to prevent reankylosis. (f) Complementation of the neoformation of the condyle two years after surgery. (g) Mouth opening, six years after surgical treatment. (h) Facial appearance after surgical and orthodontic treatment.
