Abstract

One hundred temporomandibular joints (64 patients) were examined arthroscopically. Complications from the procedure were low (4%). Eighty joints (50 patients) received superior compartment sweep and lavage. Patients with anteriorly displaced nonreducing discs (closed lock) had the highest success rate (83%) from this procedure when evaluated 9 to 30 months later.
