Outcomes of Total Alloplastic Replacement With Periarticular Autogenous Fat Grafting for Management of Reankylosis of the Temporomandibular Joint

In the patients followed over the course of this study, total alloplastic replacement with a patient-fitted prosthesis seemed to provide a safe and effective management for reankylosis of the TMJ. Autogenous fat transplantation seems to be a useful adjunct as its use seems to minimize the recurrence of joint heterotopic calcification, consequently providing improved and consistent range of mandibular motion.
