INTRODUCTION
Humphrey in 1984 first performed condylectomy Esmarch was said to be the first surgeon to perform an osteotomy for treating mandibular ankylosis in 1851. Abbe introduced the GA technique in 1880. Risdon in 1934 used interpositional material. Gillies first described TMJ reconstruction with costochondral graft HISTORY
Pickeril (1942) : used cartilagenous graft in TM Joint ankylosis Papageorge and Apostolids (1999) : published report on simultaneous mandibular distraction and gap arthroplasty in T.M.J. Ankylosis. Yonehara (2000) : reported gradual distraction helped to recreate harminous soft tissue and bony elongation of hypoplastic mandible. HISTORY
Trauma ( Forceps delivery , injury involving neck of condyle ) Extravasation of blood in joint space Clot organization Calcification and obliteration of joint space Ankylosis (extracapsular ) Immobilization (> 4 weeks ) Disc undergoes progressive destruction Flattening of the glenoid fossa & thickening of the condylar head Ankylosis (Intraarticular )
Dual effect of mouth opening on new bone formation in recent condylar trauma
Importance of OSA • Retruded mandible causing narrowing of PAS • Mechanical obstruction to respiration: Apnoea Hypapnoea episodes, reduction in the mean oxygen saturation levels and secondary cardiac and respiratory problems • Ankylosis release without advancement of mandible: worsening of already compromised airway • Mouth opening exercises can lead to upper airway collapse
CLASSIFICATION
Juxta-articular ankylosis
Topazian’s – true ankylosis Type I– Affects the condyle only Type II – Intermediate Type III – Entire ( condyle , coronoid , cranial base )
Rowe’s (according to the tissue involved )
Shanghai Ninth People’s hospital classification of TMJ ankylosis based on Coronal CT
Yan and colleagues (2014) Based on its development, ankylosis can be classifed into three phases: • Fibrous-chondral phase demonstrating fibrous tissue and chondrocytes occupied the joint gap • Chondral-calcified cartilage phase manifesting abundant chondrocytes, cartilage matrix, and neo-formative endochondral ossification in the joint space • Bone-cartilage phase showing compacted bone bridge in the lateral joint gap and cartilage in the medial joint gap
Restricted oral opening Difficulty in mastication Protrusive movements absent on involved side Pain usually absent Diagnosis
RADIOLOGICAL FEATURES Ankylosed Mass OPG Elongated coronoid process
( Yan et al. Head & Face Medicine 2014, Current concepts in the pathogenesis of traumatic temporomandibular joint ankylosis) Yan et al. -enlarged condyle, thickened temporal bone, excessive bone formation, and a radiolucent zone in the bony fusion area
CT SCANS
Preoperative Assessment Investigations Detailed history, complete clinical examination, professional photographs, for documenting the: Age of onset of ankylosis Type, duration, and extent of ankylosis Type of joint injury or infection (d) Maximal interincisal opening (e) Dental characteristics and occlusion (f) Type of facial deformity (g) Previous surgery
2.Routine hemogram and pre-op major investigations 3. Radiological examinations for evaluation of extent of ankylotic mass, discrepancy of jaws, and treatment planning (a) Orthopantomogram:
( d) Facial CT scan:
The standard components of the polysomnogram include the electroencephalogram (EEG), electro-oculogram (EOG), electromyogram (EMG) and electrocardiogram (ECG, leadV2)
3D stereolithographic models printed, with the help of CT scan, may be used in treatment planning .
TREATMENT AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
Surgical technique selection depending on following: Age of onset of ankylosis Extend of ankylosis Unilateral/bilateral involvement Associated facial deformity
Protocol for release, Interposition & RCU reconstruction Kaban’s Protocol for Management of Temporomandibular Joint Ankylosis (1990) I. Aggressive resection of the ankylotic segment II. Ipsilateral coronoidectomy III. Contralateral coronoidectomy when necessary IV. Lining the joint with temporalis fascia or cartilage V. Reconstruction of the ramus with a costochondral graft VI. Rigid fixation of the graft VII. Early mobilization and aggressive physiotherapy
II. Kaban’s modified protocol for management of Tmj Ankylosis in children (2009) a) Aggressive excision of fibrous and/or bony mass b) Coronoidectomy on affected side c) Coronoidectomy on opposite side if steps 1 and 2 do not result in MIO of 35 mm or to point of dislocation of opposite side d) Lining of joint with temporalis fascia or the native disc, if it can be salvaged e) Reconstruction of RCU with either DO or CCG and rigid fixation f) Early mobilization of jaw; if DO used to reconstruct RCU, mobilize day of surgery; if CCG used, early mobilization with minimal intermaxillary fixation (not > 10 days) g) Aggressive physiotherapy ( Kaban , Bouchard, and Troulis . Management of Paediatric TMJ Ankylosis. J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2009.)

They have stated that the intermittent compressive forces of the joint may act as a negative influence on the growth and also explained the fat tissues are maintained within the joint space itself
