Manual reduction of displaced disk.
Early use of manual disk reduction procedures was significant in providing a functional disk-condyle relationship. Ninety-three percent of the 41 patients with anterior medial displaced disk without recapture did not require surgical correction using manual disk reduction procedures. All reductions were done within a six- to eight-week time period from the date of onset.
