Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a unique joint in which both jaws must open synchronously for function. Any pathology in one or both joints results in functional problems with associated poor quality of life. TMJ ankylosis (TMJA) is a joint pathology as a result of bony and/or fibrous adhesion of the joint apparatus, resulting in partial or total loss of function. This is a retrospective study from two tertiary referral centers in northwest region of Nigeria from 2012 to 2016. Data retrieved include gender, age, etiology of ankylosis, duration of ankylosis, laterality of ankylosis, type of imaging technique, type of airway management, types of incision, surgical procedure, interpositional materials used, and complications. Data were analyzed using SPSS for Window version 20.0 (IBM Corp.). Results were presented as simple frequencies and descriptive statistics. A total of 36 patients with TMJA were seen during the study period; out of which 7 (19.4%) patients had maxillary extension of the ankylotic mass. There was a male: female ratio of 1.3:1. Four (57.1%) patients were within the age group between 5 and 10 years, two (28.6%) within the age group between 11 and 15 years, while on
