Andrew J Sidebottom et al. Br J Oral Maxillofac Surg. 2008 Mar.

This is an expensive and technique sensitive method of TMJ reconstruction and in the current climate warrants an agreed approach. The following document states the indications and contraindications for this technique as discussed and agreed amongst surgeons currently carrying out this procedure in the UK.
