“…Chossegross et al [6] evaluated the result of inter positional materials placed in 25 patients (32 joints) with at least 3 years of follow-up. Good results were achieved in 92% of cases using total full-thickness skin graft and 83% of cases using temporal muscle flap.…”

Background This study sought to determine the efficacy of interpositional arthroplasty with temporalis muscle and fascia flap in the treatment of unilateral temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis in adults. Methods This retrospective study of nine cases evaluated the postoperative results of interpositional arthroplasty on temporalis muscle and fascia flap in adults. The operative protocol for unilateral TMJ ankylosis entailed (1) resection of ankylotic mass, (2) intraoral ipsilateral coronoidectomy, (3) contralateral coronoidectomy when necessary, (4) interpositional tissue transfer to the TMJ with temporalis muscle, fascia flap, and (5) early mobilization, aggressive physiotherapy. Results The study evaluated nine patients with follow-up checks from 13 to 31 months (mean 18.3 months). Patients had a preoperative maximal interincisal opening of 9-19 mm (mean 11.7 mm). During the last follow-up observation after surgery, the patients had a maximal interincisal opening of 35-40 mm (mean 38.3 mm).The results of this protocol were encouraging, the functional results of interpositional arthroplasty on temporalis muscle and fascia flap were also satisfactory. Conclusion The findings of this study support the use of temporalis muscle and fascia flap in adult patients with unilateral TMJ ankylosis. Early postoperative initial exercise, physiotherapy and strict follow-up play an important role in preventing postoperative recurrences.

“…Several accounts on the epidemiology of Temporomandibular joint ankylosis already exist in the literature [11][12][13][14][15]. In terms of age and gender distribution the results of the present report states that equal distribution (male: 51.1 %-23 cases, female: 48.9 %-22 cases) of this problem posed between both genders when compared with that of Chossegros [16,17], Nitzan [18] where a higher prevalence of females were seen. It is however pertinent to mention that a significant proportion of our patients presented within the second and third decade of life (42.2 %-19 cases) when compared to those of Obiechina [15] where patients presented within the first decades of life, a fact alluded to by Topazian [19] and Faerber [20], Chidzonga [3].…”

“…Fracture of costochondral graft in temporomandibular joint reconstructive surgery has been reported by Merkx and Freihofer [27]. No alloplastic implants were used in this study though many studies like that of Chidzonga [3], Chossegros et al [19], Kaban et al [6], Salins [28], Chossegros et al [17], recommend their use. Measurement of inter-incisal opening distance is the most objective criterion for diagnosis and follow-up.…”

The study reports the authors' experience in managing temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis in Chennai, India (1995-2006 and compares the surgical modalities used. Forty-five patients (67 joints) were reviewed in this retrospective study. Pre-and post-operative assessment included history, radiological, physical examination, and range of mouth opening. Age, gender, aetiology, joint(s) affected, surgical modality, complications and follow-up periods were evaluated. Various types (fibrous, fibroosseous and bony) of TMJ ankylosis were diagnosed. Trauma was the commonest aetiology. The patients' age range was 2-50 years, 51.1 % were males and the follow-up period ranged from 14 to 96 months. Average mouth opening was significantly increased to 32 mm 12 months post-operatively. Mouth opening was compared following different interpositional materials like temporalis interpositioning (33 mm), costochondral graft (30.6 mm) and autograft (30 mm). Minor and major complications were encountered in 37.4 % of cases, including 6.7 % recurrence rate. Early release of TMJ ankylosis; reconstruction of the ramus height with distraction osteogenesis or bone grafting combined with interpositional arthroplasty, followed by vigorous physiotherapy is a successful strategy for the management of TMJ ankylosis.

“…Finally, distraction osteogenesis, orthognathic surgery and esthetic surgery have been described after the treatment of the ankylosis to manage the facial deformity (Chossegros et al, 1997;Kearns, 1999;Gunsseeian, 1997;Guven, 2004).…”
