Article Synopsis
- Arthroscopic surgery is a successful treatment for temporomandibular disorders, leading to symptom relief and restored jaw function, with a study of 619 cases showing positive outcomes over time.
- A review of clinical data revealed a low reoperation rate of 5.9% among patients, with significant reductions in pain and increased jaw movement six and twelve months post-surgery.
- The findings suggest that performing a second arthroscopy can be a valid option for patients who did not have successful results from their first procedure.
