Excerpt from Surgical Papers Case 1. - A girl, aged thirteen years, suffered from ankylosis of the left temporo-maxillary joint for ten years, the result of scarlet fever. She was Operated upon in August, 1887, the neck of the condyle being chiseled through just below the point where it became welded into the temporal bone. This was done through a vertical incision about one inch in length. Slight loss of power over the eyelid supervened, but this disappeared after a few months. The patient was seen on Jan. 19th, 1895, eight years after the operation. At that time the scar of the incision was barely visible. She noticed that to tightly close the left eye required more effort than in the case of the other, but the ordinary movements of the eyelid were perfect. The left side of the jaw was somewhat undeveloped as compared with the other. The mouth Opened three-fourths of an inch, and there had been no change in this since just after the Operation. Lateral motion was considerable, one-quarter of an inch or more, and the grinding power was good. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
