摘要：

Purpose: This article describes the results of modification of the condylotomy procedure for treating painful internal derangements of the temporomandibular joint. Materials and Methods: Data on postoperative disc position, joint space, and pain were evaluated in patients who underwent either the original modified condylotomy or the newly modified procedure. Results: Less anterior and inferior sag of the condyle was produced by the new technique. Pain relief and disc reduction were about the same with both procedures. Conclusion: The new modifications make the operation quicker and easier, while producing outcomes similar to those obtained with the original modified procedure.
