Potential role of disc repositioning in preventing postsurgical recurrence of traumatogenic temporomandibular joint ankylosis: a retrospective review of 17 consecutive cases

Modified internal mandibular distraction osteogenesis in the treatment of micrognathia secondary to temporomandibular joint ankylosis: 4-Year follow-up of a case

“…It has been found that the disc may still exist in cases of post traumatic TMJa, even though the TMJ structure has been damaged by different degrees of bone or fibrous adhesion between the temporal fossa and condylar stump. Repositioning of the disc in the surgical treatment of post traumatic TMJa has achieved satisfactory results (Li et al, 2006;Long et al, 2005;Nitzan et al, 1998). We found and repositioned the disc in our patient.…”

Mandibular condylectomy in a standing horse for treatment for osteoarthritis of the temporomandibular joint

“…Mandibular condylectomy was first described by Barber et al . () and has since been used to treat horses for severe septic or nonseptic osteoarthritis of the TMJ (Carmalt and Wilson ; Nagy and Simhofer ; Barnett et al . ).…”

“…The majority of reports of horses with a disorder of a TMJ describe osteoarthritis of the TMJ caused by infection (Patterson et al . ; Carmalt and Wilson ; Nagy and Simhofer ; Barnett et al . ) but other reports describe horses with nonseptic osteoarthritis of the TMJ (Hurtig et al .…”

Ultrasonography for the volumetric analysis of the buccal fat pad as an interposition material for the management of ankylosis of the temporomandibular joint in adolescent patients

“…(quoted by 11 ) The requirements for an ideal material for interposition should be that it is cost-effective, the cosmetic consequences of harvesting it should be minimal, it should be stable under masticatory forces, have a minimal risk of infection, it should obliterate dead space, and should prevent recurrence caused by heterotopic calcification. 12 We think that the pedicled buccal fat pad fulfills these requirements adequately.…”
