Temporomandibular Joint Arthroscopy

Definition

Temporomandibular joint arthroscopy is a minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedure that involves the insertion of a small camera, called an arthroscope, into the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) to visualize, diagnose, and treat various TMJ disorders. This procedure allows for a detailed examination of the joint and can help identify issues such as inflammation, disc displacement, or degenerative changes.
