Tumor resections of the temporomandibular region frequently result in exposure of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), requiring immediate reconstructive management and representing a major reconstructive challenge. Temporal fascia grafting, due to its thinness, strength, and reliable vascularization, constitutes an ideal autologous option for TMJ coverage. It provides both mechanical and biological protection, limits postoperative adhesions, and preserves joint mobility. This article aims to evaluate the role of temporal fascia grafting in the reconstructive management of post-tumoral TMJ exposure, through an anatomical, technical, and clinical review.
