Guest guest Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 Hello, I am new to this group and am seeking alternatives and information about my TMJ condition. I have had two major reconstructive surgerys that have attempted to fix the joint, but these surgeries has not helped. My current surgeon has recommended that I see a specialist concerning total joint replacement. This is very scary option for me, as I will be losing my normal anatomy and it will be replaced with an artifical substance such as titanium or coral derived compounds. I am beginning to do research in order to learn more about the procedure and success of outcome from this type of surgery. I was wondering if anyone has information, recommmendations, and/or concerns about this type of surgery. Please let me know if you have had this surgery or know anyone that has, and the outcome of the surgery. This information would be greatly appreciated and extremely helpful in guiding my decisions. In addition, has anyone had any experience with Dr. Larry Wolford in Dallas? Thanks for your help in this matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
