Arthroscopic Anterior Release Versus Discectomy as Treatments for Temporomandibular Joint Disc Displacement With Reduction

Sponsor: Karolinska Institutet

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare and evalute the surgical intervention discectomy to arthroscopic anterior release due to the diagnosis temporomandibular joint disc displacement with reduction. The main questions it aims to answer are: * which of the two surgical methods that best improves maximum interincisal opening, temporomandibular joint pain, and temporomandibular joint function. * could any pre- or peri-operative variable/-s be identified as a predictor for outcome. * are there any differences in how fast the patient recover after anterior release and discectomy, respectively. * are there differences regarding postoperative hospitalisation, operating time, negative side effects? Researchers will compare the six-month surgical outcome regarding the above stated interventions. Study participants have already had their intervention, i.e. the study is retrospective.
