TMJ arthroscopy

Pre-operative assessment (range of motion, muscle function) + rehabilitation after minimally invasive TMJ surgery.

Characteristics

TMJ arthroscopy is minimally invasive surgery allowing joint lavage or disc intervention. The pre-operative assessment evaluates joint range of motion and muscle function. Post-operative rehabilitation begins quickly with cryotherapy, drainage, and progressive joint mobilizations.

  • Residual joint inflammation
  • Temporary opening limitation
  • Post-intervention pain
  • Minimal scarring

Physiotherapy treatment

  • Pre-op assessment: range of motion, muscle function
  • Cryotherapy and drainage
  • Progressive muscle strengthening
  • Proprioception exercises

Progress with treatment

Progress varies according to the condition and individual factors. Conservative options may be discussed after assessment, without a promised result or timeline.
