Abstract:
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis is a complex entity that requires accurate diagnosis and prompt treatment. Multiple surgical modalities have been proposed to treat TMJ ankylosis, including gap arthroplasty, interpositional arthroplasty and total joint reconstruction. This article is to report one treated with patient specific implants due to its complexity, technical considerations are presented and could be an option for patients with similar conditions requiring this type of complicated treatment.

Suture
All the bones of the skull, except for the mandible, are joined to each other by a fibrous joint called a suture. The fibrous connective tissue found at a suture strongly unites the adjacent skull bones and thus helps to protect the brain and form the face. In...
Structural Joints: Cartilaginous Joints
There are two types of cartilaginous joints:
Synchondrosis
A synchondrosis ("joined by cartilage") is a cartilaginous joint where bones are connected by hyaline cartilage. Synchondrosis may be temporary...
Joints
Structural joint classifications are based on the material that makes up the joint as well as whether or not the joint contains a space between the bones. Joints are structurally classified as fibrous, cartilaginous, or synovial.
