In order to evaluate the influence of postoperative treatment on the results of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) menisectomy, the maximum voluntary opening and closing movements of 67 patients who underwent either total menisectomy or partial menisectomy with disk repair were analyzed and compared to those of 10 normal subjects. The postoperative treatment was classified into three different types depending on its strategy. It was observed that postoperative treatment which emphasized physical medicine modalities could produce opening and closing movements of the mandible closer to the normal range. The effect of the postoperative treatment on the results of total menisectomy was more significant than that on the results of partial menisectomy with disk repair. Partial menisectomy with disk repair resulted in better opening and closing movement than total menisectomy.
为了评估术后治疗对颞下颌关节（TMJ）半月板切除术结果的影响，对67例行全半月板切除术或部分半月板切除术并进行盘修复的患者的最大自主开口和闭口运动进行了分析，并与10名正常受试者的运动进行了比较。术后治疗根据其策略分为三种不同类型。结果发现，强调物理治疗方式的术后治疗能够使下颌的开口和闭口运动更接近正常范围。术后治疗对全半月板切除术结果的影响比对部分半月板切除术并进行盘修复结果的影响更为显著。部分半月板切除术并进行盘修复比全半月板切除术产生更好的开口和闭口运动。
