Development of the Limb Synovial Joints01:07

Development of the Limb Synovial Joints

4.9K
Joints form during embryonic development in conjunction with the formation and growth of the associated bones. The embryonic tissue that gives rise to all bones, cartilage, and connective tissues of the body is called mesenchyme.
The mesenchymal stem cells differentiate into chondrocytes that form the hyaline cartilage, and later the cartilaginous model of the bone. This model further transforms into a bone. This process is known as endochondral ossification.
During development, the limbs...

Degenerative Disc Disease ll: Pathophysiology

30
The symptoms of degenerative disc disease arise from a combination of mechanical compression, vascular compromise, and biochemical inflammation, which together disrupt nerve function and produce pain.Mechanical CompressionDisc degeneration reduces height and elasticity, predisposing to herniation of the nucleus pulposus, a major cause of radicular pain. Herniations may be protrusion (bulging with intact annulus), extrusion (nucleus extends beyond disc but remains connected), or sequestration...

Mitral Valve Prolapse II: Assessment and Management

1.4K
IntroductionA range of clinical features characterizes Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP), but it is important to note that many individuals with MVP are asymptomatic and may remain so throughout their lives. For those who do exhibit symptoms, the following are the key clinical features:Palpitations: This is a common symptom where individuals feel an irregular or rapid heartbeat. Palpitations in MVP are often due to arrhythmias such as premature ventricular contractions or supraventricular...

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Orthodontics
  • Plastic Surgery

Background:

  • Condylar hyperplasia frequently causes significant facial asymmetry.
  • Partial condylectomy is a common surgical intervention to manage this condition.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate temporomandibular joint (TMJ) function after partial condylectomy.
  • To assess patient outcomes including mouth opening, lateral movements, pain, and facial nerve function.

Main Methods:

  • 14 patients (6 male, 8 female, average age 21) underwent partial condylectomy.
  • Surgical access included preauricular or endaural approaches with various osteotomy tools.
  • Post-operative assessment occurred at 3+ months using visual analog scale (VAS) and a metallic rule.

Main Results:

  • Average follow-up was 11 months.
  • Normal mouth opening (>35 mm) and lateralities (avg. 9 mm) were observed with no significant side differences.
  • Minor issues included noise (3 patients) and low-level pain (2 patients); facial nerve function had limitations but no patient-reported problems.

Conclusions:

  • Partial condylectomy is a safe and effective treatment for condylar hyperplasia.
  • The procedure demonstrates low morbidity and good functional outcomes for patients.
