Prosthetic replacement of the condylar head for temporomandibular joint disease.

Temporomandibular joint replacement was performed in 8 adults who had intraarticular ankylosis, 6 who had end-stage osteoarthritis, and 12 who had rheumatoid arthritis. Three methods of replacement were used; an ulnar head prosthesis (8 patients), an interpositional implant (11 patients), and a Proplast-coated metallic prosthesis (7 patients). The mean age of the 26 patients (19 women and 7 men) at surgery was 38 years (range 17 to 58 years), and the mean follow-up was 36 months (range 3 to 84 months). Relief of pain was experienced by 23 patients, and maintenance or improvement of incisal opening was experienced by 21. Prosthetic replacement of the condylar head for end-stage disease is highly successful in the patients for whom it is indicated.

Reconstruction for cervical irradiation ulcers with myocutaneous flaps.

Radiation-induced skin changes are commonly seen in patients who have been treated for head and neck malignancies. Some of these skin changes can progress into chronic postradiation ulcers, which despite aggressive medical wound management will not resolve spontaneously. Skin grafts and local cutaneous flaps located within the radiation field are unreliable and rarely provide adequate stable coverage. In this article, the authors report a combined experience of 52 patients whose postradiation cervical ulcers were successfully and reliably treated with myocutaneous flaps.
