Arthroscopic management of temporomandibular joint disc perforations and associated advanced chondromalacia by discoplasty and abrasion arthroplasty: A supplemental report

Abstract: These findings seem to justify the arthroscopic surgical procedures of discoplasty for disc perforations, motorized shaving, or holmium laser vaporization of grade III chondromalacia, and abrasion arthroplasty for bone exposure. The results also question the need for discectomy in the treatment of disc perforation.

“…Regarding treatment, there is consensus that the treatment of disc perforations is performed by open surgery, performing repair (when size allows), discectomy (with or without replacement), or joint replacement. 17 However, there is current evidence of good results with minimally invasive surgical management using arthroscopic surgery. 18,19 Quinn and Stover describe positive results with level I arthroscopy (lysis and lavage) and remodeling of the perforation margins.…”

“…Mit diesen Maßnahmen können ca. 60% der Patienten mit akuter Diskusverlagerung erfolgreich behandelt werden [7,24,29,35,36,40,45,48,54,56,75,76]. Eine zusätzliche Thermokautherisierung oder Laseranwendung im hinteren-oder die Durchtrennung des vorderen Aufhängungsbands hat bisher keine eindeutig besseren Ergebnisse gebracht [21,22,51] Die ᭤Arthrotomie schließt sich erst nach mindestens 11/2jähriger Verlaufskontrolle nach erfolgloser minimal-invasiver Therapie an.…”
