Abstract

The aim of this study was to radiologically evaluate dermis-fat graft and temporalis muscle flap as replacements after TMJ discectomy. Patients and methods: fourteen female patients were categorized into two equal groups (seven patients on each group,) group (A) and group (B). Group A underwent TMJ discectomy followed by interpositional muscle flap. Group B underwent TMJ discectomy followed by interpositional dermis-fat graft. Pre-operative MRI (T1, T2 and proton density) were obtained in addition to 3 months and 12 months post-operative MRI for comparison and follow up of the graft. Results: Temporalis muscle flaps were diagnosed in all group (A) patients (12 joints). The dermis-fat graft was detected within the operated joints or surrounding the condyle in three patients of group B while mostly resorbed in the other four patients after one year follow up. Conclusion: Discectomy and dermis-fat graft appears to be a successful surgical option regarding to the clinical parameters. However, summed degenerative changes depending on surgical operation should be retained. Temporalis muscle flap still the gold standard after TMJ menesictomy.
