Thirty-five arthrotomograms of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) were done on 33 patients who had chronic pain and dysfunction of the TMJ. All patients were refractory to conservative treatment. Five arthrotomograms were normal; abnormalities were observed in 30. Abnormalities of the meniscus were anterior dislocation, anterior subluxation, perforation, tenting, and degenerative changes and adhesions. The significance of these abnormalities is discussed. Arthrotomography was found to be an integral part of the diagnosis and treatment of TMJ disorders.
对33例患有颞下颌关节（TMJ）慢性疼痛和功能障碍的患者进行了35次颞下颌关节造影。所有患者对保守治疗均无效。5次关节造影结果正常；30次观察到异常。半月板异常包括前脱位、前半脱位、穿孔、帐篷样改变、退行性改变和粘连。讨论了这些异常的意义。关节造影被发现是颞下颌关节紊乱诊断和治疗的一个组成部分。
