Summary: HO after alloplastic TJR with fat graft was generally not severe except for type IV, which was associated with ankylosis. Preserving sufficient TJR space was important for ankylosis prevention.

Summary: Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a common rheumatic disease in pediatrics, and intra-articular corticosteroid injections (IACIs) are an important treatment strategy to reduce systemic adverse reactions and improve joint symptoms, thus enhancing the quality of life for children with JIA.

Summary: Our study aimed to evaluate the clinical and laboratory features of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) children with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) arthritis. TMJ arthritis was detected in 43 (5.7%) of our patients and associated with a longer course of the disease, polyarticular JIA category, treatment with systemic corticosteroids, and longer achievement of remission and involvement of cervical spine, hip, and shoulder. Patients with TMJ arthritis require more biologics and have decreased probability of remission achievement.

Summary: Involvement of the temporomandibular joint is common in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and juvenile idiopathic arthritis, with many cases being asymptomatic. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential, but there is still a lack of consensus in management. Regular clinical evaluation is recommended, particularly for patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis.

Summary: This systematic literature review assessed the current role of TMJ US in JIA, showing that US has lower capability in detecting signs of active synovitis of TMJ compared to contrast enhancement MRI. Despite being secondary to MRI, US may help interpret images and intercept significant changes over time in TMJ involvement in JIA.

Summary: Corticosteroid injections can alleviate TMJ pain in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and improve mouth opening capacity in the short term. This therapy appears to be useful for short-term management of TMJ involvement in RA patients.

Summary: Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is a common musculoskeletal condition that causes pain and disability. The most common cause is internal derangement, but other pathologies can mimic it. MRI is the preferred imaging modality for evaluating the TMJ, and radiologists need to be familiar with its normal anatomy and function, as well as the imaging features of various pathologies.

Summary: This study aimed to validate an animal model for studying TMJ arthritis in growing rats, using a CIA juvenile rat model. The results showed that CIA significantly reduced mandibular growth and induced degenerative changes in TMJ condylar cartilage. This model has the potential for future research on therapies for TMJ arthritis.

Summary: Septic arthritis of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) in dogs and other mammals is a rare condition characterized by pain, swelling, and difficulty in opening the mouth. Diagnostic imaging with CT, CBCT, and/or MRI is essential for definitive diagnosis, and treatment may involve exploratory surgery.

Summary: This study showed that rapid maxillary expansion (RME) in growing patients with JIA who had not shown TMJ symptoms for at least a year was safe and effective, with improvements in nasal cavity width, maxillary width, and intermolar width. Both JIA patients and healthy controls benefitted similarly from RME treatment, indicating potential benefits for orthodontic care in these patients.

Summary: This article provides updated guidelines for the pharmacologic management of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), focusing on different forms of JIA and providing recommendations for treatment and tapering of medications. The evidence for these recommendations is generally low quality, but the inclusion of patients and caregivers in the decision-making process strengthens the relevance and applicability of the guideline.

Summary: Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the preferred technique for diagnosing and monitoring TMJ disorders in pediatric patients with JIA. TMJ involvement in JIA can lead to significant facial growth impairment if left untreated. Early signs of TMJ involvement are difficult to detect clinically, making MRI a crucial tool for diagnosis and treatment monitoring. This pictorial essay describes a consensus MRI protocol for studying the TMJ in JIA and explores currently available MRI scoring systems.

Summary: This study aimed to assess predictors of remission in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) treated with intra-articular corticosteroid injection (IACI) as monotherapy or in combination with methotrexate. The results showed that early IACI is a strong predictor of remission.

Summary: Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is common in children, and early diagnosis is essential. Comprehensive treatment includes pharmacological management, surgical interventions, orthodontics, and psychological support. Total alloplastic TMJ replacement plays an important role in treating end stage deformity.
