The angle between the horizontal condylar long axis and the frontal plane was measured and correlated with arthrographic diagnosis in 364 consecutive temporomandibular joint patients. There were no statistically significant associations between the horizontal condylar angle and the arthrographic diagnosis. The condylar angle of the contralateral joint however, was, found to be larger in patients with unilateral anterior disk displacement than in patients with normal temporomandibular joints. There is no immediate explanation of this finding, but it supports previous observations and may contribute to the understanding of the etiology and the pathogenesis of internal derangement of the temporomandibular joint.
对364例连续性颞下颌关节患者测量了髁突水平长轴与额状面之间的角度，并将其与关节造影诊断结果进行关联分析。髁突水平角与关节造影诊断之间无统计学显著关联。然而，发现单侧前盘移位患者对侧关节的髁突角大于正常颞下颌关节患者。目前对此发现尚无直接解释，但它支持了先前的观察结果，可能有助于理解颞下颌关节内紊乱的病因和发病机制。
