title: Healing following condylar shave in the monkey temporomandibular joint.
abstract: Condylar shaves were performed in monkeys, and the reparative process was studied by histologic and autoradiographic techniques. The condylar surface was found to repair mainly with fibrous connective tissue produced by cells derived from the underlying marrow spaces. The residual condylar cartilage did not play a significant role in this process.
