Methods： The lateral cephalogram and speech intelligibility were detected in 19 cases with the operations of repairing defects of maxilla and palate by temporalis muscle flap, and their recovery of the speech function were analyzed. Results： Among the 19 patients, there were 15 cases （78.00%） with complete velopharynx, 3 cases （15.80%） with mafiginal velopharynx, and 1 case （5.26%） with insufficient velopharynx. The average speech intelligibility was 94.3%, close to the normal speech intelligibility. Conclusion： The operation of repairing defects of maxilla and palate with temporalis muscle flap can reconstruct the phonatory structure, preserve the palate function and restore the speech function after operation.展开更多

To study the effects of temporalis myofasdal flap (TMF) transferred to treat the long ankylosis of temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Methods : Seventeen cases with ankylosed condytes received arlhroplasty. The degrees of mouth opening pre- and post-operation were e-vahiated, and the spaces of joints in the X-ray films were also measured. The evaluation of the results of the surgical treatment was based on the TMJ functions. Results .Following up 0. 5-3. 0 years, in 12 of 17 cases the degree of mouth opening improved up to 27 mm. The doctors and the patients were both satisfied with the results. Conclusion:The use of TMF in artkroplasty of temporomandibular joint is a good approach in the treatment of TMJ.展开更多
