Figure 17. Pruzansky-Kaban Type IIb. Reconstruction of the temporomandibular joint. (a) Two harvested rib segments, one containing bony and cartilaginous components and the other containing only cartilage; (b) the zygomatic arch has been reconstructed using calvarial bone (two small arrows pointing at the micro osteosynthesis screws) and the fossa has been reconstructed using the cartilaginous segment (not visible). The condyle has been reconstructed using the costochondral segment, osteosynthetized via the temporal approach (big arrow pointing at oblique osteosynthesis screws)
