How can the tmj disc be sutured back into place by the use of arthroscopy?

Skilled operator: The TMJ disorders are very hard to treat.If your surgeon is convinced you have a displaced TMJ cartilage and you are symptomatic it is helpful to have them explain the procedure to your satisfaction.

Last resort: That should be a last resort for treatment. There are non surgical options with less risk and acceptable results.

Disc Surgery: Disc surgery to suture it back in place is effective only if the occlusion is addressed and the muscular system that positions the jaw are addressed at the same time. Treating the cause is important as well as the result of disc displacement. The technique is to do arthroscopic suturing of the disc to the posterior aspect of the capsule of the tmj. Joint space is required to prevent future issues.

Sometimes: Not a common arthroscopic technique. Most commonly "lysis and lavage" will work well.
