TMJ Arthroscopic Lysis and Lavage Compared to Operative Arthroscopy in Disc Displacement With Reduction.
Conditions: Temporomandibular Joint Disc Displacement, With Reduction, Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD)
Sex: All
Ages: 18 Years – N/A
Healthy volunteers: No
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 96
Sponsor: Karolinska Institutet
Location: Karolinska Institutet Huddinge
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the intervention arthroscopic lysis and lavage to the intervention operative arthroscopy in treating disabling and painful temporomandibular joint disc displacement with reduction. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Which surgical method that best improves mouth opening capacity, TMJ pain, and TMJ disability?
* If any pre- or peri-operative variable/-s could be identified as a predictor for surgical outcome? Researchers will compare arthroscopic lysis and lavage to operative arthroscopy to see if operative arthroscopy works better to treat temporomandibular joint disc displacement.
Participants will:
* Have one of the two interventions under general anesthesia, not knowing which intervention.
* Visit an external clinic for regular checkups at 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months after surgery.
* Answer three different quality of life surveys at the checkups.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
* Uni- or bilateral DDwR verified with clinical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings

* Age ≥ 18 years
Exclusion Criteria:
* Prior open TMJ surgery
* Patient diagnosed with rheumatologic joint disease
* ASA (American Society of Anaesthesiologists) \> 3
