Arthroscopy of the rabbit temporomandibular joint was evaluated experimentally on 22 rabbits. A small arthroscope with so-called "Selfoc"-system was employed. The reaction to arthroscopy was analyzed clinically. Macroscopic dissection and histology were then employed to detect possible pathological changes in the joints at periodic intervals. The established criteria for evaluation of postoperative reactions were erythema, suppuration, weight changes and chewing capacity. The results of this study indicate that the rabbit temporomandibular joint may be arthroscoped with subsequent minor reversible changes. It also seems feasible to assume that temporomandibular joint arthroscopy in humans runs a low risk for postoperative complications.
在22只兔子身上对兔颞下颌关节镜检查进行了实验评估。使用了一个带有所谓“自聚焦”系统的小型关节镜。临床分析了关节镜检查的反应。然后每隔一段时间进行宏观解剖和组织学检查，以检测关节中可能的病理变化。评估术后反应的既定标准为红斑、化脓、体重变化和咀嚼能力。本研究结果表明，兔颞下颌关节可以进行关节镜检查，随后会出现轻微的可逆性变化。似乎也有理由认为，人类颞下颌关节镜检查术后并发症的风险较低。
