TM Joint Arthroscopy



Category TM Joint Arthroscopy

The Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) is one of the most important joints in the body, connecting the lower jaw to the skull and enabling essential functions such as chewing, speaking, and mouth opening. When this joint becomes inflamed, damaged, or dysfunctional, it can lead to persistent pain, jaw locking, clicking sounds, restricted mouth opening, and difficulty performing everyday activities.

If you are looking for expert TM Joint Arthroscopy in Anand Vihar, Dr. (Prof.) Manoj Goyal offers advanced diagnostic and surgical solutions for the management of TMJ disorders. With more than 30 years of experience in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and specialized training in TM Joint procedures, he provides comprehensive care focused on restoring joint function and improving quality of life.

At Nuface Nu Face, we utilize modern techniques and evidence-based treatment protocols to effectively manage TMJ disorders while minimizing discomfort and recovery time.

What is TM Joint Arthroscopy?

TM Joint Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat disorders affecting the temporomandibular joint. The procedure involves inserting a small arthroscope (a specialized camera) into the joint through tiny incisions, allowing the surgeon to visualize internal structures and perform corrective treatments with precision.

Unlike traditional open joint surgery, arthroscopy offers a less invasive approach with smaller incisions, reduced tissue trauma, and faster recovery.

TM Joint Arthroscopy may be used to:

  • Evaluate joint abnormalities
  • Remove inflammatory tissue
  • Release adhesions
  • Improve joint movement
  • Reduce pain and inflammation
  • Treat internal joint derangements

Who May Need TM Joint Arthroscopy?

TM Joint Arthroscopy may be recommended for patients experiencing:

  • Persistent TMJ pain
  • Jaw locking episodes
  • Difficulty opening the mouth
  • Clicking or popping sounds in the jaw
  • Restricted jaw movement
  • Joint inflammation
  • Chronic TMJ dysfunction
  • Symptoms not responding to conservative treatment

A detailed evaluation helps determine whether arthroscopy is the most appropriate treatment option.
