The condylar capping for microvascular temporomandibular joint reconstruction: A preliminary study
Abstract Background Defects of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) are often difficult to be reconstructed in the correct dimensions and function. This preliminary study aims to describe a novel technique of condylar reconstruction with a microvascular flap in case of deforming arthrosis of the TMJ: condylar capping.
