Traumatic temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis can be classified into fibrous, fibro-
osseous and bony ankylosis. It is still a huge challenge for oral and maxillofacial surgeons
due to the technical difficulty and high incidence of recurrence. The poor outcome of disease
may be partially attributed to the limited understanding of its pathogenesis. The purpose of
this article was to comprehensively review the literature and summarise results from both
human and animal studies related to the genesis of TMJ ankylosis.
