title: [Contrast arthrography of the temporomandibular joint].
abstract: Seventy-four temporomandibular arthrographic examinations, mostly involving paracentesis of the menisco-condylar compartment, provided the means for visualizing normal and pathologic aspects of both reducible and non-reducible meniscal dislocations, and of perforations. Findings included distension of the bilaminar zone and adhesions. Post modeling condyloplasty status was noted. At present, arthrography seems to be the most reliable test, as well as being the easiest to perform and the least expensive one for visualizing menisco-condylar abnormalities.
