Abstract

Temporomandibular joint replacement surgery has been carried out in various centres in the UK since 1987. Data collection has been sporadic and piecemeal to date. We have used the TMJ Concepts custom made total joint replacement system since the year 2000 in Gloucester and London and since 2004 in Birmingham and Nottingham. We present our combined experience with 87 patients (133 joints) to date and discuss the stepwise work up of the patients, design factors related to the prosthesis, surgical aspects and our postoperative results.
