Abstract
In this limited preliminary study, the local tissue responses to the failed TMJR implants showed similar primary macrophage and lymphocyte responses to previously reported failed metal-on-metal and metal-on-polyethylene orthopedic total joint replacement devices. No such local inflammatory responses were seen with the failed TMJR hemiarthroplasty devices.
