  • Title: Surgical correction of temporomandibular joint ankylosis in two cats.
    Author: Okumura M, Kadosawa T, Fujinaga T.
    Journal: Aust Vet J; 1999 Jan; 77(1):24-7. PubMed ID: 10028388.
    Abstract:
    Two cats with temporomandibular joint ankylosis were examined. Difficulty in opening the mouth and malocclusion were associated with trauma and fracture around the zygomatic arch and the condyle of the mandible after an automobile accident. Unilateral condylectomy or aggressive caudal mandibulectomy was performed to improve quality of life. Excision arthroplasty of the temporomandibular joint improved mandibular function and appearance. Some malocclusion remained but had no clinical significance.
