Extractions: In January, 1996, our Lab suffered damage to her knee and underwent surgery to repair the knee. There has been some discussion of this surprisingly common injury to Labs on the Labrador-L mailing list over the past few months. At least 3 other Labrador-L correspondents (as at March 30-96) are currently nursing their Labs back to health following this same surgical procedure. I asked our veterinarian for additional information about this condition and she responded with the paper which I have reproduced here with her kind permission. Clearly she went above and beyond the call of duty in creating this informative document. Permission to reproduce the document in any form should be obtained from Dr. Adams Questions of a veterinary medicine nature should be directed to Dr. Adams, I am not competent to respond. Non-medical questions and comments can be handled by private email to me . While you're in the neighborhood, drop by my HomePage to see Willi's family.

Although no specific data exists regarding the social impact of temporamandibular joint disorders, TMJ is estimated to account for as much as thirty billion dollars a year in lost productivity. Americans lose 550 million work days every year due to symptoms associated with TMJ, with facial pain and headache being the most common complaints. Accordingly, analgesics directed at these symptoms are among the top selling over the counter medicines in our society. Despite the lack specific data regarding the incidence of these disorders, much has been learned over the last decade regarding specific pathology and therapy. Generic terms such as TMJ Syndrome, or Myofascial Pain Dysfunction Syndrome (MPD Syndrome) are generally outdated. It is now possible to differentiate between true muscular disorders and those disorders with pathological changes of the temporomandibular joint.

Extractions: Human Physiology 6/e Fox Student Online Learning Center Joint Disorders Skeletal Joints have a tough job. They must support weight, provide a great variety of body movements, and are used very frequently. In addition to this normal wear and tear, these structures are sometimes subjected to injury from overuse, infection, an immune system launching a misplaced attack, or degeneration. Here is a look at some common joint problems. Dislocation A dislocation (luxation) displaces the articulating bones of a joint and usually results from a fall or other unusual body movement. The joints of the shoulders, knees, elbows, fingers, and jaw are common sites for this type of injury. A dislocation produces an obvious deformity of the joint, some loss of ability to move the articulated bones, localized pain, and swelling. Sprains Sprains result from overstretching or tearing the connective tissues, ligaments, and tendons associated with a joint, but they do not dislocate the articular bones. Usually forceful wrenching or twisting sprains the wrist or ankles. For example, excessively inverting an ankle can sprain it as the ligaments on its lateral surface are stretched. Severe injuries may pull these tissues loose from their attachments. A sprained joint is painful and swollen, restricting movement. Immediate treatment of a sprain is rest; more serious cases require medical attention. However, immobilization of a joint, even for a brief period, causes bone resorption and weakens ligaments. Consequently, exercise may help strengthen the joint.

Extractions: I have been treating Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMJ, or TMD), non-surgically, for over 30 years. I have given seminars, delivered lectures to Dentists and Physicians all over the country, and my Curriculum Vitae is available upon request My objective in establishing this Web Page is to disseminate information about TMJ disorders which affect about 20% of the population, and that 20% spans all age groups, pre-teen, teens, young adults, the middle aged, and seniors. I'm happy to answer individual questions by E-Mail, BUT I have set certain limits which I trust you will agree are reasonable. Because of rampant e-mail associated viruses, I will not open any e-mail that does not have TMJ in the subject line. A blank subject line, or any phrase, or word in the subject line which does not include the capital letters TMJ will not be opened, and will be immediately deleted. Additionally, because fees vary from zip code to zip code, I cannot, and will not, comment on whether or not you have been appropriately charged. For that same reason, and because this Web Page is not intended to advertise my own services, but rather is intended to educate, and guide, I will not respond to any questions about my fees. And, last, but not least, remember that E-Mail is not very secure, so exercise prudence. From time to time I will update the FAQs with some of your more interesting queries without attribution.

The list is by no means exhaustive and should be used as a guide only. Should you, a friend or family member experience symptoms similar to those described in this section, you should consult your doctor for an expert opinion. Bunions are a very common problem, which occur when the foot spreads and the big toe then deviates towards the other toes. The prominent bone at the side of the big toe rubs against the shoe and the skin becomes reddened. Often, a sac of fluid called a bursa may develop in the tissue overlying the prominent bone. This swelling, consisting of inflamed soft tissue and underlying prominent bone, is what we call a "bunion". Corns refer to the thickened skin that forms where the shoe rubs on a deformed toe. A hard corn forms where skin is dry while a soft corn forms where it is moist as between the toes. Hammer toe refers to the shape a toe often takes when the joints become contracted and deformed.

About The Cochrane Library A substantive amendment to this systematic review was last made on 14 November 2002. Cochrane reviews are regularly checked and updated if necessary. Background: Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD) refer to a group of heterogeneous pain and dysfunction conditions involving the masticatory system, reducing life quality of the sufferers. Intra-articular injection of hyaluronate for TMD has been used for nearly two decades but the clinical effectiveness of the agent has not been summarized in the form of a systematic review. Objectives: To assess the effectiveness of intra-articular injection of hyaluronate both alone and in combination with other remedies on temporomandibular joint disorders. Search strategy: Intensive electronic and handsearches were carried out. The Oral Health Group's Trials Register (September 2001), The Cochrane Library CENTRAL database (Issue 3, 2001), MEDLINE (1966- May 2001), PubMed ( up to March 2002), EMBASE (1974 - August 2001), SIGLE (1980 - December 2001), CBMdisc (1983 - July 2001, in Chinese) and Chinese Medical Library were searched. All the Chinese professional journals in the oral health field were handsearched and conference proceedings consulted. There was no language restriction. Selection criteria:

Extractions: Causes TMJ syndrome has several possible physical causes: Muscle tension. Muscle tightness in the temporomandibular joint usually results from overuse of muscles. This overuse in turn is often associated with psychological stress and clenching or grinding of the teeth (bruxism). Injury. A direct blow to the jaw or the side of the head can result in bone fracture, soft tissue bruising, or a dislocation of the temporomandibular joint itself. Arthritis. Both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis can cause TMJ. Internal derangement. Internal derangement is a condition in which the cartilage disk lies in front of its proper position. In most cases of internal derangement, the disc moves in and out of its correct location, making a clicking or popping noise as it moves. In a few cases, the disc is permanently out of position, and the patient's range of motion in the jaw is limited. Hypermobility. Hypermobility is a condition in which the ligaments that hold the jaw in place are too loose and the jaw tends to slip out of its socket.

About The Cochrane Library A substantive amendment to this systematic review was last made on 13 November 2002. Cochrane reviews are regularly checked and updated if necessary. Background: There has been a long history of using occlusal adjustment in the management of temporomandibular disorders (TMD). It is not clear if occlusal adjustment is effective in treating TMD. Objectives: To assess the effectiveness of occlusal adjustment for treating TMD in adults and preventing TMD. Search strategy: We searched the Cochrane Oral Health Group's Trials Register (April 2002); the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) (The Cochrane Library Issue 2, 2002); MEDLINE (1966 to 8th April 2002); EMBASE (1980 to 8th April 2002) and handsearched journals of particular importance to this review. Additional reports were identified from the reference lists of retrieved reports and from review articles of treating TMD. There were no language restrictions.
