Abstract

Interpositional gap arthroplasty has established itself as the the standard surgical treatment of Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis. The autogenous tissue has replaced the alloplastic and other xenografts materials owing to its bioavailability, easy uptake, and no additional cost. Commonly used autogenous tissue has been temporalis muscle and fascia, fascia lata, skin graft, auricular and costal cartilage, the masseter and/or medial pterygoid muscle. With the turn of the century, TMJ surgeons started using autogenous fat from the lower abdomen and today it has taken over as the most favored autogenous filler material in TMJ ankylosis surgery or total joint replacement (TMJ-TJR). The use of buccal fat pad (BFP) has increased in the last decade due to its local availability and pedicled nature. This paper will discuss various autogenous tissues used in interposition and bring forth the journey of the autogenous fat as the preferred interpositional material now and rest the case in its favor.

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

Karpaltunnelsyndrom BDC Leitlinien Webinare
CME: 2 Punkte

Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.

S2e-Leitlinie „Distale Radiusfraktur“

Radiusfraktur BDC Leitlinien Webinare
CME: 2 Punkte

Das Webinar beschäftigt sich mit Fragen und Antworten zu Diagnostik und Klassifikation sowie Möglichkeiten des Ausschlusses von Zusatzverletzungen. Die Referenten erläutern, welche Frakturen konservativ behandelt werden können und wie. Das Webinar beantwortet die Frage nach aktuellen operativen Therapiekonzepten: Welcher Zugang, welches Osteosynthesematerial? Auf was muss bei der Nachbehandlung der distalen Radiusfraktur geachtet werden?
