In order to evaluate the influence of different types of postoperative treatments on the results of TMJ surgery, chewing movement recorded postoperatively was compared in 32 patients with unilateral total meniscectomy, 42 patients with partial meniscectomy with disk repair, and 10 normal subjects. Postoperative treatment was of three different types depending on its strategy. It was found that postoperative treatment had a significant positive effect on the results of both total and partial meniscectomy. Postoperative treatment which included both physical medicine modalities and dental treatment demonstrated better results than only dental treatment or no postoperative treatment. However, none of these studied techniques could recover chewing movement to the normal range.
为了评估不同类型的术后治疗对颞下颌关节手术结果的影响，对32例行单侧全半月板切除术的患者、42例行半月板部分切除术并进行盘修复的患者以及10名正常受试者术后记录的咀嚼运动进行了比较。术后治疗根据其策略分为三种不同类型。结果发现，术后治疗对全半月板切除术和部分半月板切除术的结果均有显著的积极影响。包括物理治疗和牙科治疗的术后治疗比仅进行牙科治疗或不进行术后治疗的效果更好。然而，这些研究技术均无法将咀嚼运动恢复到正常范围。
