Anterior dislocation of the temporomandibular disc.
The suspected finding of partial or complete anterior dislocation of the temporo-mandibular disc in many cases of long-standing temporo-mandibular joint dysfunction has been verified at operation. In a series of 33 patients involving 45 joints, a simple operation is described in which the lateral border of the disc is anchored to the lateral margin of the glenoid fossa.
