A mobile bearing prosthetic implant may include a fossa implant seated in the fossa cavity of the skull and secured to the zygomatic arch. The fossa implant may define a primary recess constructed and arranged to mimic the articular eminence of the temporal bone such that a floating bearing connected to a ramus implant may translate along the original path that the condylar head would take during movement of the jaw. The floating bearing may be constructed and arranged to move from the first jaw angle recess to the second jaw angle recess and is positionable therebetween such that a longitudinal axis of the floating bearing is perpendicular to the direction of movement of the floating bearing within the fossa implant.

The present invention provides a composition for restoration of tissue including a biodegradable polymeric copolymer which is obtained by polymerizing a hydrophobic biodegradable polymer and a hydrophilic biodegradable polymer. The composition of the present invention has excellent tissue restoration effects because of high collagen production rate without occurrence of nodules even when injected directly into the dermis, unlike the conventional composition for restoration of tissue.

A method of treating a chronic wound may comprise applying to the wound a first scaffold comprising an electrospun polymer fiber. The electrospun fiber may comprise a polymer selected from the group consisting of polyglycolic acid, poly(lactide-co-caprolactone), polylactic acid, polycaprolactone, copolymers thereof, and combinations thereof. The first scaffold may have a thickness from about 50 μm to about 1 mm, a length from about 1 cm to about 20 cm, and a width from about 1 cm to about 15 cm. The method may further comprise keeping the first scaffold on the chronic wound for a time period of about 3 days to about 21 days. After the time period passes, the chronic wound may have a decreased planimetric area.
