Pre-arthroplastic mandibular distraction osteogenesis for the correction of OSA in TMJ ankylosis: a prospective observational study of 25 cases

ConclusionPre-arthroplastic mandibular DO has proved to be a successful modality for treatment of OSA in TMJ ankylosis patients with stable results at 12  months.
