Ankylosis: Causes & Reasons

Possible Causes for Ankylosis

Because there are no reported curative procedures for TMJ ankylosis occurring in this condition, a palliative surgical approach is described. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

As the condition progresses, HO leads to joint ankylosis, breathing difficulties, and mouth-opening restriction, and it can shorten the patient's lifespan. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Flare-ups are episodic, with bone formation in skeletal muscle and connective tissue leading to ankylosis of major joints of the axial and appendicular skeleton. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Chromoblastomycosis

Severe forms of the diseases are characterized by edema of the extremities because of lymphatic involvement, secondary bacterial infections and ankylosis. [symptoma.com]

[…] also very prone to complications such as bacterial infections, and may also result in lymphoedema (fluid retention and swelling caused by blockage of lymphatic duct) and ankylosis [medindia.net]

In severe cases, lymphedema and ankylosis occur which may alter the clinical appearance. [dermatologyadvisor.com]

Hemophilia

Examine the weight-bearing joints, especially the knees and ankles, and, in general, the large joints for deformities or ankylosis. [web.archive.org]

Cartilaginous surface of the affected joint gets eroded and exposes bone surface leading to articular fusion and ankylosis. [intechopen.com]

Spondylitis

[…] alleviate systemic symptoms such as fatigue; and to slow or stop the long-term progression of the disease, particularly the progressive loss of spinal mobility caused by ankylosis [gpnotebook.co.uk]

This process tends to be slow, but when it progresses can ultimately lead to complete spinal fusion or ankylosis (i.e. the so-called “bamboo spine”). [hopkinsarthritis.org]

For many patients, ankylosis classically begins at the sacroiliac joints and progresses in an ascending manner, from the lumbar spine to eventually the cervical spine. [hopkinsarthritis.org]
