Summary

Discopexy is a surgical procedure aimed at stabilizing the articular disc within the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) in patients experiencing TMJ disorders (TMD). The TMJ is a complex joint responsible for jaw movement, and its proper function relies on the alignment and stability of the articular disc, a fibrocartilaginous structure that cushions the joint. In cases of disc displacement or dysfunction, patients may experience pain, clicking, limited jaw movement, and other symptoms.
