A three-phase investigation was conducted to learn more about the suspension mechanism of the temporomandibular joint with the aid of radiographs. Results indicate that superior condylar displacement occurs in most patients with unsupported closing muscle force and that condylar translation occurs during hinge opening for some patients. This study revealed that the condylar mechanism is not immutable. The superior condylar displacement produced by unsupported muscle force raises doubts about the whole understanding of the suspension mechanism of the temporomandibular joint and the clinical techniques associated with it.
为了借助X线片更多地了解颞下颌关节的悬吊机制，开展了一项三相研究。结果表明，在大多数闭口肌力量无支撑的患者中会出现髁突向上移位，并且在一些患者的铰链式开口过程中会发生髁突平移。本研究表明髁突机制并非一成不变。由无支撑肌肉力量产生的髁突向上移位引发了对颞下颌关节悬吊机制以及与之相关的临床技术的整体理解的质疑。
