Data from a pool of approximately 400 patients operated on with modified condylotomy during a 9-year period are presented. The chief findings were good relief of pain and dysfunction, and reversal of the internal derangement in a high percentage of patients. There was low morbidity and remarkably few complications. Comparison of these findings with published results of alternative surgical and nonsurgical procedures seems to favor modified condylotomy.
本文呈现了一组约400例患者在9年期间接受改良髁突切除术的数据。主要发现是大部分患者疼痛和功能障碍得到明显缓解,颞下颌关节内紊乱得到纠正。发病率低,并发症极少。将这些结果与已发表的其他手术和非手术治疗方法的结果相比较,改良髁突切除术似乎更具优势。
