  • Title: Temporo-mandibular joint ankylosis and oro-nasal fistula as complications of facial trauma.
    Author: Summers L, Pearce RL.
    Journal: Aust N Z J Surg; 1975 Feb; 45(1):94-6. PubMed ID: 1057410.
    Abstract:
    Condylar fractures with or without disruption of the temporo-mandibular joint occur commonly with other facial injuries. The subsequent development of ankylosis presents surgical and anaesthetic problems in management and results in severe physical disability to the patient. Oro-nasal fistula is a rare complication of fractures involving the middle third of the facial skeleton, and two cases are reported.
