thanks for your query, i have gone through your query, the limited mouth open could be because of the post surgical fibrosis and post radiation fibrosis of the oralcavity. this is a complication of the surgery and radiotherapy. you can consult your operated surgeon and explain the problem and get it corrected by doing coronoidectomy or condylectomy. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
