Unilateral and bilateral deformation of the temporomandibular joint was observed in young rats after unilateral ligature of the common carotid artery. They involved both the mandibular condyle and the mandibular fossa and were usually associated with a reduction in the dry weight of the masticatory muscles on the ligated side. This leads to the assumption that muscular atrophy is causally related to arthropathy of the temporomandibular joint. The methodological approach to induce changes in the temporomandibular joint may be used as a model of arthrosis of that joint.
在年轻大鼠单侧结扎颈总动脉后，观察到颞下颌关节的单侧和双侧变形。它们累及下颌髁突和下颌窝，并且通常与结扎侧咀嚼肌干重的减少有关。这导致人们推测肌肉萎缩与颞下颌关节病存在因果关系。诱导颞下颌关节发生变化的方法可作为该关节关节炎的模型。
