説明

A case of severe bony ankylosis of the temporomandibular joint, which caused micrognathia, is reported. A 43-year-old man was referred to our clinic with the main problem of trismus. He had jaw movement limitation due to TMJ ankylosis, resulting from the fracture of bilateral condylar processes in his childhood. The maximum mouth opening was 11mm, and X-ray examination revealed deformity of the bilateral mandibular heads and severe bony ankylosis on the left mandibular head. We performed an osteoarthrotomy and inserted a free skin flap to the resected area on the left side. On the right side, a condylectomy was performed. After the operation, the maximum mouth opening increased to 30mm, but micrognathia remained. Therefore, we conducted genioplasty and an iliac bone graft, at 11 months after the initial operation. Since these operations, the patient has been satisfied with the result of improvement of mouth opening disturbance and facial appearance.
