The Condylar Head Add-On System is designed to provide temporary reconstruction of the mandibular condyle in patients undergoing disarticulation resection of the mandible as part of ablative tumor surgery.
Key Features & Benefits
- Condylar Head - maintains temporary function of the temporomandibular joint, offset in a medial direction for anatomically correct positioning of the implant and symmetrical design allows right or left condyle replacement
- Fixation Plates - height adjustment allows optimal fit of the condylar head in the patient’s fossa, four different positions: 0 mm to 6 mm, in 2 mm increments, and labeled for identification of position height
- Titanium Screw - two screws are used to attach the condylar head and fixation plate to the 2.4 mm Locking Reconstruction Plate (LRP) and color-coded (gray) for identification
- System attaches to lateral side of plate allowing easy removal
Indications
- Temporary reconstruction of the mandibular condyle in patients undergoing ablative surgery requiring the removal of the mandibular condyle, limited to a maximum of two (2) years until final reconstruction can occur.
- The Condylar Head Add-On System is not intended for permanent implantation, for patients with temporomandibular joint or traumatic injuries, or for treatment of temporomandibular joint disease (TMD).
