Abstract
The present article describes a case of post traumatic complete bilateral bony ankylosis with 10 mm of maximum mouth opening. Patient had history of bilateral condylar fracture and had been treated before 4 years by ORIF, gradually his mouth opening started diminishing and radiographic examination revealed bilateral bony ankylosis as well as presence of a 4 holed plate and screws on lateral aspect of the left condylar region. Ankylotic mass removed bilaterally and temporalis myofacial flap is used to interpose between the osteotomised segements to prevent chances for reankylosis.
