A fully visualized arthroscopic disc suturing technique.

Advanced arthroscopic procedures, including disc suturing, are advantageous in managing temporomandibular joint disorders. These techniques are indicated in cases of long-standing closed lock, displaced discs with reduction, and hypermobility with chronic dislocation. Disc suturing procedures can be done blindly, partially blindly, or fully visualized. Fully visualized suturing techniques have obvious advantages, but can be time-consuming, difficult to perform, and traumatic. This article presents a new suturing technique that is fully visualized and is less time-consuming and relatively easy to perform.

TMJ arthroscopic diagnosis and surgery: clinical experience with 152 procedures over a 2 1/2-year period.

Arthroscopic surgery of the temporomandibular joint has been routinely performed by a relatively small number of surgeons for about three to four years. With advances in instrumentation, techniques, and education, it is anticipated that many more surgeons will be performing temporomandibular joint arthroscopic diagnosis and surgery in the near future. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the rationale of temporomandibular joint arthroscopic techniques and the results of arthroscopic surgery involving 152 temporomandibular joints with observation periods ranging from two to 31 months.

Arthroscopic treatment of anterior disc displacement: a preliminary report.

A new suturing technique for stabilizing anteriorly displaced discs that have been reduced arthroscopically after removal of adhesions, lateral pterygoid release, and stretching the lateral capsule is presented. This procedure has provided successful results, although the evaluation is only short-term. No complications have occurred using this suturing technique.

Arthroscopic diagnosis and surgery of the temporomandibular joint.

Arthroscopy of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) has advanced to the point that excellent diagnostic examination and a number of surgical procedures can be performed. A refined technique is presented and instrumentation for surgical arthroscopy is discussed. Short-term results are also presented.
