A member asked:
Tmj mri showed bilateral adhesed disks with no evidence of disk displacement. tmj specialist recommended arthroscopy and pt, is it worth the risk?

Arthrocentesis: A more conservative and less expensive approach would be to start with an Arthrocentesis otherwise known as a lavage. If this is not helpful them arthroscopic surgery would be indicated.
