title: Degenerative joint disease. Part II: Symptoms and examination findings.
abstract: From a pool of 1,279 consecutive patients referred to the Parker E. Mahan Facial Pain Center for complaints of head/neck pain, a subset of 215 patients with the diagnosis of osteoarthrosis of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ-DJD) have been identified. Data regarding patient age and sex, reported symptoms and examination results are presented from this subset of TMJ-DJD patients. From this data, common signs and symptoms of TMJ-DJD are proposed.
