Abstract
- Results of 104 arthrotomography scans with contrast of temporomandibular joints of 71 patients are used to define normal arthrography criteria (15.4% of cases). Reducible anterior displacements represented 28.8% of cases, non-reducible displacements 40.4%, perforations 12.5% (5.8% associated with a reducible luxation, 6.7% with a non-reducible luxation). The failure rate was 2.9%. Arthrography provides important information on articular morphology and dynamics, the state and position of the meniscus and of the posterior brake, and the state of the joint capsule. Performed by an experienced operator it possesses few complications.
