title: [Use of a posterior temporal muscle flap in surgery of the temporomandibular joint].
abstract: The anatomical and physiological relation between temporal muscle and temporomandibular joint are well-knowed. The versatility of the temporo muscle-fascia flap must be stressed. The posterior temporal flap is a simply, reliable procedure, with low morbidity. This technique is probably the procedure of choice in discal replacement and in interposition arthroplasty for ankylosis.
