During the past decade, rapid changes have occurred in the field of temporomandibular joint surgery. These changes have been stimulated by a renewed interest in internal joint derangements. In many instances, the focus has changed from the osseous tissues to the soft tissue structures of the joint. The primary purpose of this book, as stated by the authors, is to present, through photographs and illustrations, the information currently available in the diagnosis and surgical management of internal derangements and arthrosis. Anatomic, clinical, and surgical photographs are used to demonstrate the important features. These illustrations are used to clarify, emphasize, and highlight important points and are effective in conveying the information the authors wish to impart. The book is divided into eight sections, which include Anatomy; Pathology; Diagnostic Arthrography; Surgery; Postoperative Management and Results; Temporomandibular Joint Surgery; Complications and Failures; and Case Reports. A unique feature of the book is the extensive use of color illustrations. They show the surgical procedures in excellent detail, and the line drawings that accompany the color illustrations make the surgical procedures very clear. This is a book that should be in the libraries of all oral and maxillofacial training programs and in the offices of the specialists who practice in this area.
