Clinical Outcomes of Arthroscopic Management in the Treatment of Advanced End-stage Internal Derangement Wilkes V Cases of the Temporomandibular Joint

Internal derangement of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is 1 of the most common forms of temporomandibular joint disorders. The clinical efficacy and patient outcomes associated with TMJ arthroscopy have been well-documented for articular disorders (I-IV) of internal derangement.1,2 No studies to date, however, have focused specifically on patient outcomes of arthroscopic management of end-stage articular disorder Wilkes V cases. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of operative arthroscopic management of end-stage cases of internal derangement of the TMJ.
