A historical review of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) surgical meniscal repositioning procedures is presented, and three operations that are currently used to manage this problem are compared and contrasted. Each operation produces iatrogenic deviations in intra-articular anatomy and retains the potential to create significant alterations in TMJ biomechanics. Meniscocondylar plication has been performed on 84 patients (89 joints) with arthrographically confirmed internal derangement of the TMJ. A 90.7% success rate was achieved. The operation is technically facile, surgically uncomplicated and clinically effective. It should rank as a justifiable and viable alternative to those operations that are presently being performed to treat patients with internal derangement of the TMJ.
本文对颞下颌关节（TMJ）手术性半月板复位手术进行了历史回顾，并对目前用于处理该问题的三种手术进行了比较和对比。每种手术都会在关节内解剖结构上产生医源性偏差，并有可能在TMJ生物力学方面造成显著改变。已对84例（89个关节）经关节造影证实为TMJ内部紊乱的患者进行了半月板髁折叠术。成功率达到了90.7%。该手术技术简便，手术操作不复杂且临床效果良好。它应被视为目前用于治疗TMJ内部紊乱患者的那些手术的合理且可行的替代方案。
