Abstract
|
|
|
Temporalis muscle flaps were evaluated in sheep. Flaps placed as interpositional material following meniscectomy were examined at 2, 4, 12 and 24 weeks. Histological evaluation of these muscle flaps showed avascular necrosis, subsequent
displacement and
loss of tissue from the joint in operative controls were examined at 4, 12 and 24 weeks. This muscle remained viable while undergoing fibrous replacement. The surface layers of the condyle and fossa were initially lost, but he tissues were
reformed
loading within the joint. Despite the lack of interpositional material the condyle and fossa can remodel.
