Here presents an instance of respective bilateral temporomandibular joint ankylosis planned for interpositional arthroplasty. A satisfactory estimated fiber optic intubation was utilized to encourage nasotracheal intubation and the resected condylar mass was changed to frame a neo condyle for the interpositional arthroplasty in one side and a temporalis myofascial flap was utilized on the contralateral side. By this method the second surgical site was avoided to take interpositional graft.
