Condyle Fracture

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis is an intracapsular union of the disc–condyle complex to the temporal articular surface that confines the mandibular drive, including the fibrous adhesions/ bony fusion between condyle, disc, glenoid fossa, and eminence. It is a severe and incapacitating ailment that can cause mastication, digestion, speech, appearance, and hygiene concerns. This is an unusual case of a 42-year-old adult patient, who suffered from bilateral recurrent TMJ ankylosis and reported following trauma to the face. The patient had a history of mandibular condyle fracture at ten years of age. Excision of existing ankylotic mass followed by reconstruction with patient-specific total joint replacement (TJR) was carried out. Postoperative physiotherapy exercises in the presented case improved patient’s mouth opening, and mandibular movement. Patient-specific TJR procedures and postoperative physiotherapy will be helpful in cases with TMJ ankylosis.

Introduction. The bifid mandibular condyle (BMC) is an unusual temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder with controversial etiology. The association of this entity with ankylosis is rare. Objective. The objective of the present study is to report a case of BMC with associated TMJ ankylosis in a patient with no history of trauma and/or infection. Case Report. A 17-year-old male patient sought care reporting pain on the right TMJ region and mastication difficulty due to a severe limitation of mouth opening. In the clinic and imaging examinations, a 15 mm mouth opening and BMC associated with ankylotic mass of the right TMJ were observed, besides a facial asymmetry with chin deviation to the right. The proposed treatment plan was condylectomy on the right side, bilateral coronectomy, and genioplasty, so the chin lateral deviation could be corrected, under general anesthesia. The patient remains under clinical and imaging follow-up of two years with functional stability and no signs of relapse of the ankylosis. Conclusion. The association of BMC with ankylosis is an atypical entity which must be diagnosed and treated early to prevent aesthetic and functional damages to the patient.

Computerised Tomography

The aim of this article is to highlight the importance of routinely reviewing the mandibular condyle on computerised tomography brain studies in a trauma setting, that often extends to involve the mandibular condyles in the scan parameters. We discuss 4 cases seen over the last 18 months at our institution, and review the relevant literature regarding paediatric mandibular fractures.
