A group of 30 operative cases (32 sides) with TMJ disturbance syndrome was included in the present study. The authors carried out a comparative study between radiographic, pathological and operative observations for these cases. Based on this study, we are confident that the nature of the organic destructive stage of the TMJ disturbance syndrome is essentially a secondary degenerative arthrosis, and that those cases showing transient PDS are probably functional and reversible; however, the indolent and deferred cases with internal derangement of TMJ actually belong to earlier manifestations of degenerative arthrosis.
本研究纳入了一组30例颞下颌关节紊乱综合征手术病例（32侧）。作者对这些病例的影像学、病理学和手术观察结果进行了对比研究。基于该研究，我们确信颞下颌关节紊乱综合征器质性破坏阶段的本质基本上是继发性退行性关节病，那些表现为短暂性PDS的病例可能是功能性且可逆的；然而，颞下颌关节内紊乱的慢性和延迟病例实际上属于退行性关节病的早期表现。
