Juxta-articular Myxoma of the Temporomandibular Joint.

The juxta-articular myxoma represents a benign mesenchymal neoplasm that arises from tissue within or adjacent to a joint space. There have been a number of reported cases involving myxomas of the knee, shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hip. To our knowledge there, however, have been no reported cases of juxta-articular myxomas of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).

Use of computer-assisted templates for placement of osteotomies in lateral gap arthroplasty.

Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of computer-generated surgical templates for precise bone removal in the treatment of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis with a medially displaced condyle.

Materials And Methods: Patients found to have a medially displaced condylar head and lateral bony fusion from January 2012 through January 2014 were included in the study. ProPlan CMF 1.

Application of digital templates to guide total alloplastic joint replacement surgery with biomet standard replacement system.

Purpose: To design and manufacture digital templates to guide Biomet total alloplastic joint replacement surgery (Biomet, Warsaw, IN) and evaluate the clinical efficacy.

Materials And Methods: Six patients who underwent total alloplastic joint replacement surgery from November 2013 to March 2014 were included in this study. Before surgery, the Biomet standard prostheses were scanned and imported into the ProPlan CMF 1.

Modified temporomandibular joint disc repositioning with miniscrew anchor: part I--surgical technique.

Anterior disc displacement is one of the most common conditions affecting the temporomandibular joint. In the authors' previous publications, they reported on the basic technical elements of disc repositioning surgery. However, the present article presents some critical modifications that have allowed the safe and successful performance of this procedure during the past 3 years.
