A member asked:

How long do you usually need to wear a decompression splint after an arthroscopy? is it normal to have a changed bite after wearing this? thank you

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It varies: Most patients are in splint therapy before arthroscopic surgery, so we often keep them in a splint afterwards. The bite can feel different due to fluid in the joint. This should settle down.
