TMJ reconstruction in growing patients: autologous experience vs prosthesis
In this AO CMF Study Club session, the key challenges of pediatric TMJ reconstruction presented by Ajoy Roychoudhury, who emphasizes the need to account for facial growth and long-term function. He discusses different reconstruction options, highlighting costochondral grafts as a preferred approach due to their growth potential, while also addressing ways to reduce complications such as re-ankylosis and graft overgrowth.
Learning objectives:
- indication for pediatric TMJ reconstruction
- pediatric TMJ reconstruction using autologous tissue
- strategies to incorporate growth (costochondral grafts, transport disc distraction osteogenesis)
- strategies to reduce heterotopic bone at reconstruction site
- pediatric alloplastic total joint replacement.

Managing Primary and Secondary Pediatric Midfacial Trauma
In this Expert Case discussion, Damir Matic, Mohamed Abdulazeem, Mohamed Amin, Amr Amin Ghanem and Amir Elbarbary are presenting webinar about management of primary and secondary pediatric midfacial trauma.
Key challenges in managing pediatric maxillary and orbital trauma are outlined, highlighting that facial growth is largely genetically determined and that the upper face and orbits have limited remodeling capacity. As a result, precise anatomic reduction at the time of injury is especially critical in younger children. It is further emphasizes that early, high-energy trauma poses the greatest risk for long-term growth disturbance, underscoring the importance of meticulous, age-appropriate surgical techniques, judicious use of hardware, and timely intervention—particularly in orbital emergencies—to ensure optimal functional and aesthetic outcomes as the child grows.
