The present invention generally relates to mandibular prostheses. More particularly, the invention relates to a condylar-head replacement (1) for reconstruction of the temporomandibular joint after resection of the condyloid process. The present invention provides a condylar-head replacement comprising a condylar-head attachment (3) that may be adjustably positioned on a reconstruction plate (2) to achieve various condylar-head heights. The condylar-head height adjustment allows the condylar-head replacement to be fit to a particular patient. The condylar-head replacement of the present invention obviates the need for custom fabrication of a condylar-head replacement for a patient.

La présente invention concerne en général les prothèses mandibulaires. Plus particulièrement, l'invention concerne le remplacement d'une tête de condyle pour la reconstruction de l'articulation temporomandibulaire après résection du processus condylien. La présente invention propose un remplacement de la tête de condyle comprenant une fixation de la tête de condyle pouvant être positionnée de manière ajustable sur une plaque de reconstruction afin d'atteindre diverses hauteurs de tête de condyle. L'ajustement de la hauteur de ladite tête permet que le remplacement de celle-ci s'adapte à un patient particulier. Ledit remplacement de la présente invention évite le besoin d'une fabrication personnalisée d'un remplacement de tête de condyle pour un patient.
