Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2019, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
Temporalis myofascial flap holds great promise as an interposing tissue, for the treatment of ankylosis in gap arthroplasty, for its dependable blood supply through the middle and deep temporal arteries, proximity to the maxillofacial region, possibility to mobilize it to the oral cavity through the under surface of zygomatic arch and its fanned out nature permitting the surgeon to use this flap as inter-positional tissue. The present paper reviews the surgical anatomy, vascular pattern and our clinical experience in ten patients who underwent surgical treatment for ankylosis with inter-positional arthroplasty. It fared well all 10 cases proving that temporalis myofascial flap is a versatile option for inter-positional arthroplasty with minimal complication rate.
