Surgical Release of Bilateral Jaw Joint Fusion
Surgical Release of Bilateral Jaw Joint Fusion Probability of Injury to the Temporomandibular Joint from falls Childhood is a time of fun and frolic and a lot of play. This can lead to a lot of bruises and scrapes from falls. Many instances of direct falls on the chin are common. This is the most common cause of injury to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Relative Minor Joint Injuries Leading to Complete Bony Ankylosis Many of these falls are minor with only minor pain and discomfort arising in the joint. Initial management is usually through analgesics prescribed by family physicians. Many of the patients are not followed up once there is symptomatic relief from the pain. Classification of TMJ Ankylosis into Fibrous and Bony Ankylosis Even relatively minor injuries can result in bleeding into the jaw joints. This gradually results in fusion of the jaw joints to the skull bones. There are two types of ankylosis of the TMJ. Fibrous ankylosis affords a little movement while bony ankylosis results in immobility of the joint. Patient Suffers a fall to the Chin with Resultant Injury to the Jaw Joints This young boy had suffered an injury to his jaw joints a few years ago. He had fallen on his chin during play at school. A local doctor had prescribed analgesics and he did not have any pain. His parents did not follow up on the possibility of temporomandibular joint injury. Increasing Mouth Opening Limitation and Lower Jaw Retrusion He gradually developed limitation in his mouth opening as well as mandibular retrognathism. This has now reached a point where he now has very limited mouth opening. They presented to a local doctor who explained the condition to them. Initial Diagnosis of Bony Jaw Joint Ankylosis at Hometown Hospital He stated that he had complete bony ankylosis.

This is then carefully placed in an ear pocket crafted at the site of the ear. This is followed by the second stage surgery. The previously placed cartilaginous ear structure is lifted up. The posterior portion of the ear is then addressed through a skin graft. This skin graft is most often harvested from the abdominal region of the patient. Imaging Studies reveal Bilateral Bony Ankylosis of Jaw Joints Imaging studies were obtained including a 3D CT scan and he was examined. There was a thick medial callus of the ankylosed jaw joints. Treatment planning was explained to the parents and they consented to surgery. Release of Ankylosed Jaw Joints with Good Mouth Opening The jaw joints were approached through bilateral submandibular incisions. His bilaterally ankylosed jaw joints were released using a burr. There was greatly increased mouth opening following his surgery of up to 2 inches. Importance of Jaw Exercises in Preventing Relapse of Jaw Ankylosis His parents have been advised to perform rigorous jaw exercises. This would ensure that there was no recurrence of his ankylosis. They expressed understanding of the instructions before discharge from the hospital. Surgical Release of Bilateral Jaw Joint Fusion CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE SURGERY VIDEO
A Triumph Over Adversity: Jaw Reconstruction for Ameloblastoma – A Patient’s Journey
Lower Jaw Resection for Ameloblastoma and Jaw Reconstruction Pathogenesis of Ameloblastoma and Treatment Modes An ameloblastoma is a benign odontogenic tumor that most often arises in the lower jaw. The most common region is the area near the molar teeth. It is often aggressive in nature and causes extensive destruction of the jaw bone. Successful Surgical Treatment of Ameloblastoma with Segmental Resection Segmental jaw resection is the most common surgical mode of treatment of ameloblastoma. The section of affected jaw along with overlying teeth is removed. This results in a large bony defect, which leads to cosmetic and functional compromise. Common Modes of Diagnosis of Ameloblastoma of the Jaw Diagnosis is most commonly through biopsy and imaging studies. It appears as a radiolucent lesion, which is well defined and with scalloped borders. The scalloped borders are caused by the multilocular presentation of the tumor. Histopathological Genesis of the Tumor in the Mandible Ameloblastoma of the jaw arises from the cells that are the precursor to enamel. Occurrence in children can lead to delayed eruption of teeth. Adults often experience loosening of teeth in the region and difficulty with speech. Extensive Destruction of Bony Structure of the Mandible Patients who develop ameloblastoma of the jaw require jaw reconstruction surgery. Jaw bone grafting needs to be performed using rib bone grafts. A time period of six months is allowed to elapse after jaw bone grafting. This allows adequate consolidation of the graft bone. Surgical Specialty Dealing with the Treatment of Ameloblastoma Treatment of ameloblastoma of the jaw is performed by maxillofacial surgeons. This is achieved by segmental resection of the affected segment of the jaw. This is followed by jaw reconstruction surgery. Patients who develop ameloblastoma of the jaw fully recover from their condition. Jaw reconstruction surgery is followed by placement of dental implants. Shade matched ceramic crowns are placed after osseointegration of the implants. Treatment plan with this surgical procedure includes long term correct jaw relationship. A CT scan is obtained before this corrective jaw surgery. All possibilities for side effects are studies to ensure that they do not arise. The soft tissues also play an important role in determining the shape of the face. Relationship between the upper and lower jaw is studied in detail. The bone structure is also analyzed. This will help chose the choice of bone graft material. Bone graft procedures are explained in detail to the patient. Care is also taken to avoid complications such as a postoperative open bite. The gum tissue is also analyzed for postoperative drape. These procedures are always performed under general anesthesia. They also often require orthodontic treatment for correction of tooth alignment. Patients with obstructive sleep apnea have a characteristic profile with receding chins.
