The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the autologous blood injection (ABI) for chronic recurrent temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dislocation using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
ABI was applied to 14 patients who had chronic recurrent TMJ dislocation. MRIs of the patients were taken and compared before and one month after the injection.
All of the patients had no dislocations of their TMJs on clinical examination one month after the injection. In the pre-injection, unilateral or bilateral TMJ dislocations were observed on MRIs in all patients. One month after the injection, TMJ dislocations were not observed in MRI evaluation of any patients. A significant structural change that caused by ABI was not observed.
The procedure was easy to perform and it caused no foreign body reaction. However, it was unclear how the procedure prevented the dislocation.
本研究旨在使用磁共振成像（MRI）研究自体血注射（ABI）治疗慢性复发性颞下颌关节（TMJ）脱位的效果。
对14例慢性复发性TMJ脱位患者应用ABI。在注射前及注射后1个月对患者进行MRI检查并比较。
注射后1个月的临床检查中，所有患者的TMJ均无脱位。注射前，所有患者的MRI均观察到单侧或双侧TMJ脱位。注射后1个月，在任何患者的MRI评估中均未观察到TMJ脱位。未观察到由ABI引起的明显结构变化。
该操作易于实施且未引起异物反应。然而，尚不清楚该操作如何预防脱位。
