Postoperative changes have been observed in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) after discectomies. Animal models have often shown that interventions in the TMJ may heal uneventfully. Discectomies were performed on 14 Macaca fascicularis and macroscopic and microscopic examination performed after sacrifice of the animals. Two of the animals did not show any apparent macroscopic or microscopic changes. The remaining 12 joints showed minor to major changes. The most serious changes were seen in three joints with fibrous ankylosis and five joints showed marked destruction of the articular cartilage.
在颞下颌关节盘切除术之后，已观察到颞下颌关节（TMJ）的术后变化。动物模型常常显示，对颞下颌关节的干预可能顺利愈合。对14只食蟹猴进行了关节盘切除术，并在处死动物后进行了宏观和微观检查。其中两只动物未显示任何明显的宏观或微观变化。其余12个关节出现了轻微至严重的变化。最严重的变化见于3个发生纤维性强直的关节，5个关节显示关节软骨有明显破坏。
