TJR Resources

These are just resources that I have found helpful personally or have learned from others who have had this surgery, to help you consult with surgeons and feel prepared for a total joint replacement surgery! There is also a resource center in the facebook group Idiopathic Condylar Resorption that is very helpful and covers a lot of these topics as well.

A big hug to all of you going through this process now ❤️ I know how stressful and defeating the process is when you are in pain and dealing with so much.
