2006, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :The concept of discectomy is based on the assumption that a grossly displaced, deformed, or degenerated disc can cause symptoms of pain, locking, and stiffness, and can induce further inflammatory degenerative joint changes, and that removal of the disc may reduce these symptoms. Discectomy was a popular operation during the 1940s–1960s, with several favorable reports [9–12]. In the 1970s, as understanding of the pathophysiology of internal derangement increased and imaging modalities improved, discectomy regained popularity.
The role of surgery in the management of disorders of the Temporomandibular Joint: A critical review of the literature - Part 1
2005, International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial SurgeryCitation Excerpt :The first published case of discectomy for painful TMJ dysfunction was reported in the German literature by Lanz68 in 1909. From then until the 1950s discectomy remained the procedure of choice in the surgical treatment of painful TMJ dysfunction5,34,42,66. The refinement of X-rays of the TMJ by the 1950s suggested that a reduction in joint space might well explain the painful TMJ dysfunction as a consequence of increased joint pressure.
