title: [Joint-sparing mobilization of TMJ ankylosis].
abstract: The causes leading to ankylosis are reviewed and operative approaches to avoid "block-resection" are briefly outlined. 2 patients with fibrous ankylosis are presented, with the affected area visualized through computer-tomograms. Each patient underwent only resection of the lateral exostosis causing restricted movement. Follow-up tomograms of the 2 patients are offered.
