title: [Late results of the surgical treatment of temporomandibular joint ankylosis in children].
abstract: Long-term outcome after surgical treatment of temporomandibular joint ankylosis is not always satisfactory in children. Interposition of a temporalis muscle flap is insufficient to ensure good functional results if the surgical procedure is not followed by careful active and passive physiotherapy. The results can be evaluated only after the child has grown.
