title: [A statistical evaluation of the surgical therapy of TMJ condyle-disk incoordination].
abstract: Biomechanical pathology of the TMJ occurs most frequently in 4 clinical variants: anterior dislocation of the jaw, reciprocal click, closed lock, osteoarthrotic degeneration. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of TMJ surgery, using statistical comparative analysis, in resolving condylo-meniscal incoordination. Eighty-one patients were included in the study who had been treated surgically for various symptoms of condylo-discal incoordination from 1982 to 1989, assessing a series of objective and subjective parameters and making a statistical comparison of results.
