Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis may be defined as a fibrous or bony union of the complex of articular disc and bony condyle along with the glenoid fossa of temporal bone resulting in restricted mandibular movements. It may manifest unilaterally or bilaterally. Hip joint dysplasia is also another orthopaedic complication resulting in looseness and general instability of the hip joint. Co-existence of these two lesions is very rare and probably this case is the first of its kind as far as the literature review is available till date. There lies the importance of this case.
