TMJ arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat issues related to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which connects the jaw to the skull. This surgery involves inserting a small camera, called an arthroscope, into the joint through a small incision, allowing the surgeon to examine the joint and perform treatments if necessary.

TMJ arthroscopy is used for conditions such as joint inflammation, displaced discs, or scarring that can cause pain, limited movement, and jaw clicking. The surgeon can remove adhesions, smooth the joint surfaces, or inject medications to reduce inflammation.

This procedure is less invasive than traditional open surgery, offering a quicker recovery time, reduced risk of complications, and effective relief for many TMJ disorder patients.

TMJ arthroscopy helps restore jaw function and alleviates pain, improving the patient's quality of life with minimal downtime.
