Abstract
TDO for reconstruction of the ramus-condyle unit is an effective treatment modality for TMJ reconstruction. However, after condylectomy with resection of the condylar neck, it seems to be a reliable approach to adjust the distraction vector slightly posterior to maintain the transport segment in glenoid fossa to prevent the premature contact of bony segments, especially for individuals who have shorter anteroposterior ramus length in the axial plane.
