Article Abstract
The mammalian temporomandibular joint (TMJ) develops from two distinct mesenchymal condensations that grow toward each other and ossify through different mechanisms, with the glenoid fossa undergoing intramembranous ossification while the condyle being endochondral in origin. In this study, we used various genetically modified mouse models to investigate tissue interaction between the condyle and glenoid fossa during TMJ formation in mice. We report that either absence or dislocation of the condyle results in an arrested glenoid fossa development. In both cases, glenoid fossa development was initiated, but failed to sustain, and became regressed subsequently. However, condyle development appears to be independent upon the presence of the forming glenoid fossa. In addition, we show that substitution of condyle by Meckel's cartilage is able to sustain glenoid fossa development. These observations suggest that proper signals from the developing condyle or Meckel's cartilage are required to sustain the glenoid fossa development.

Statement Of Problem: Although custom temporomandibular joint (TMJ) prostheses manufactured via computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD-CAM) and produced through 3-dimensional (3D) printing or computer numerical control (CNC) allow for sagittal curvature adjustments in the glenoid fossa, their design remains unregulated by the Food and Drug Administration. Consequently, the geometry is determined largely by the engineer's discretion, with limited biomechanical evidence to guide these decisions. The lack of validation regarding how sagittal curvature influences joint stress distribution under various anatomical and functional conditions represents a gap in current knowledge that warrants investigation.

The treatment of shoulder dysplasia resulting from brachial plexus birth injury (BPBI) remains a matter of debate within pediatric orthopedic and neurosurgical communities. Various approaches have been proposed to address the muscular imbalance and joint incongruity that develop in affected children, with special attention paid to the roles of humeral head reduction and tendon transfers. : These procedures aim to correct the disproportionate strength between internal and external rotators of the shoulder.

Rationale: Glenoid fractures, representing approximately 10% of scapular fractures, are uncommon but clinically significant due to their frequent association with high-energy trauma. Without timely and adequate management, such injuries may lead to complications including nonunion, osteoarthritis, and chronic instability, especially when fracture patterns are complex or extend into the scapular body. This report highlights the unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of managing an Ideberg type Vb glenoid fracture.

Background: Functional appliances, such as Twin Block and Herbst, produce dental and skeletal effects to correct Class II division 1 malocclusion. Although widely studied, there are no prospective randomized studies in the literature evaluating the effects of these appliances on the condyle (CO) and glenoid fossa (GF).
Objective: To evaluate the differences in the CO and GF after treatment using Twin Block (TB) and Herbst (HB) functional appliances for skeletal Class II malocclusions.
Complication Risks Following Open Reduction Internal Fixation Versus Nonsurgical Treatment of Scapular Fractures.

Background: Scapula fractures vary considerably in type, location, and management. Surgical management is commonly through open reduction internal fixation (ORIF), but the existing literature on its clinical outcomes is inconsistent compared with conservative management. This descriptive study reports the risk of short- and long-term complications from ORIF and nonsurgical treatment of various scapula fracture subtypes.
