Patient were categorized into three group; Group I underwent arthroplasty followed by distraction osteogenesis. Group II patients had simultaneous arthroplasty and distraction osteogenesis and Group III patient underwent distraction osteogenesis to relief upper airway obstruction followed by arthroplasty, Results: All patient had a satisfactory mouth opening on follow-up and satisfactory correction of external facial appearance was achieved in all these patients.
