Assessment of mandibular function impairment associated with temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis and internal derangement. In uncontrolled studies, patients with symptoms related to an internal derangement appear to benefit most from arthroscopy. According to Cyriax, a patient with a substantial loss of flexion and no loss of extension during PROM of the knee would have a noncapsular pattern, and the limitation would more likely be caused by a contracture of the knee's extensor mechanism or an internal derangement than by involvement of the whole joint (ie, capsule, synovium). |
