Abstract
A dynamic approach to evaluation of the temporomandibular joint is described. By combining videofluoroscopy with arthrography, the authors were able to demonstrate anterior displacement with capture by the condyle, anterior dislocation, perforation of the meniscus, and fibrosis. This technique provides clinical information about the position of the meniscus and its integrity with minimal patient discomfort.
