This review sets out to explore the relationship between the lateral pterygoid muscle and the meniscus. It examines the embryological evidence to explain the controversy surrounding the apparent morphological discrepancy in the attachment of the lateral pterygoid muscle to the meniscus. It shows that the contribution of the lateral pterygoid muscle to the formation of the meniscus remains in dispute. Morphogenetic studies have not been able to support either one or other viewpoint and no direct conclusions can therefore be made on the embryology of the temporomandibular joint.
本综述旨在探讨翼外肌与半月板之间的关系。它审视了胚胎学证据，以解释围绕翼外肌附着于半月板时明显形态差异的争议。结果表明，翼外肌对半月板形成的作用仍存在争议。形态发生学研究无法支持任何一种观点，因此无法就颞下颌关节的胚胎学得出直接结论。
