title: Temporomandibular joint arthroscopy.
abstract: The surgical technique for arthroscopic examination of the superior space of the temporomandibular joint and the morbidity encountered with the procedure in 50 cases are presented. Eighty-eight per cent of the examinations provided diagnostic information. There were no serious complications, and minor short-term complaints were encountered in only 12% of the examinations.
