SummaryThe feline temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is inherently more stable than the canine or human joint through the close congruity of the feline mandibular fossa and condyle. Rostral luxation of the feline TMJ is resisted by a relatively large bony eminence. Traumatic luxations of the feline TMJ are therefore often associated with fractures of the mandibular fossa and/or condyle (1).The anatomy of the temporomandibular joint shows variations between species. These are highlighted by comparing the human, canine and feline temporomandibular articulations.

Temporomandibular Joint Luxation

Eminectomy which is one of the popular and most effective treatments for habitual temporomandibular joint luxation was first described by Myrhaug in 1951. There are few reports which described eminectomy being performed under local anesthesia and conscious sedation. We present a case series of habitual luxation of the TMJ treated by eminectomy performed under local anesthesia and conscious sedation and general anesthesia. Five patients were examined and found to have recurrent luxation of the TMJ. The age of patients ranged from 18 to 93 years. Bilateral eminectomy of the TMJ was performed for two patients, and unilateral eminectomy was performed for three patients. Two were examined under intravenous propofol sedation and local anesthesia, while three patients were examined under general anesthesia. One patient died from ileus one month after surgery. The follow-up period except for the case that died from ileus ranged from 12 to 33 months. No recurrent dislocation of the TMJ has been identified. Based on our experience and two other series in the literature, eminectomy with sedation and local anesthesia can be considered and might be a good option in elderly patients.

Temporomandibular Joint Luxation

SummaryThe cat in this report was admitted with mandibular symphyseal separation and jaw malocclusion referrable to luxation of the right TMJ. Radiographs revealed a fracture of the right articular eminence in the frontal plane of the head. Closed reduction, while initially successful, failed to prevent reluxation of the mandible. Polyester suture was used to successfully tether the right mandibular condyle to the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, preventing any reluxation and allowing healing of the fractured eminence.Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) luxation is a relatively commonly encountered injury of the feline jaw. While most temporomandibular joints remain stable once relocated, some will reluxate. A new technique using polyester suture to successfully treat an unstable rostral TMJ luxation, and associated fracture in a cat, is described. Alternative treatments for this condition are briefly discussed.
