An interesting radiological picture of post traumatic TMJ ankylosis due to sagittal condylar fracture

Highlights • A case of posttraumatic unilateral TMJ ankylosis resulting from closed reduction of a bilateral condylar fracture with interesting radiological findings. • In a condylar fracture whether to intervene or to go for conservative management still remains a dilemma. • Studies and hypothesis suggests that it’s medially dislocated condylar fracture segment that is more likely to ankylose. • In our case the post trauma CT shows the lateral segment abutting with the arch and that the area has become ankylotic in a span of 2 years.
