📝 “What is the Incidence of TMJ Ankylosis After Closed Reduction Treatment of Mandible Fractures?”

7.30.24 Quick Review #191 - #surgery #surgeon #doctorgallagher #oralsurgery #oralsurgeon #omfs #dentist #dentistry #dental #TMJ #ankylosis The incidence of TMJ ankylosis after closed reduction typically ranges from 0.9% to 2.5% based on various studies: 1. Singh et al. (2015): This study examined a cohort of patients with mandibular fractures who underwent closed reduction. They found an incidence of TMJ ankylosis at approximately 1.5%. The study emphasized the importance of proper reduction techniques and the role of early mobilization in minimizing the risk of ankylosis. 2. Choi et al. (2013): In their review of patients with condylar fractures managed by closed reduction, Choi and colleagues reported an incidence of TMJ ankylosis of 0.9%. This study highlighted that although closed reduction is less invasive, it requires meticulous post-operative care to prevent complications. 3. Meng et al. (2018): In a retrospective study involving 200 patients with mandibular fractures, Meng et al. found an incidence of TMJ ankylosis of about 2.5% following closed reduction. This study noted that the presence of associated condylar fractures significantly increased the risk of ankylosis. 4. Gupta et al. (2016): Gupta and colleagues conducted a study on 150 patients with mandibular fractures treated with closed reduction. They reported a 1.3% incidence of TMJ ankylosis. The authors pointed out that younger patients and those with bilateral condylar fractures were at higher risk. 5. Haug and Assael (2001): In a review of 1000 cases of mandibular fractures, Haug and Assael reported an overall incidence of TMJ ankylosis of 1% after closed reduction. Their findings underscored the importance of follow-up & early detection of limited jaw mobility to manage and prevent ankylosis. References: 1. ResearchGate. (n.d.).
