Meniscectomy of temporo-mandibular joints
Know Your Surgery
Meniscectomy of Temporo-Mandibular Joints (TMJ) refers to the surgical removal or partial removal of the meniscus (a disc-shaped cartilage) within the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which connects the jawbone (mandible) to the skull (temporal bone). This procedure is typically performed when the meniscus becomes damaged, degenerated, or causes pain, leading to jaw dysfunction.
