Modified Gap Arthroplasty for Temporomandibular Joint Ankylosis Following Radiotherapy for Rhabdomyosarcoma: Report of an Unusual Case and Brief Literature Review
Radiotherapy at the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) area often results in trismus, however, post radiation ankylosis is extremely rare and has not been previously reported in literature. Radiation is known to impact the vasculature of bony structures leading to bone necrosis with certain risk factors...

A modified gap arthroplasty technique combined simultaneously with pterygo-masseteric muscle flap was applied to lower the risk of osteoradionecrosis due surgical trauma at irradiated area.
