How effective is open-joint arthroplasty for TM?

Healthwise answered:When open-joint surgery is the best option, it is usually helpful. Disc repositioning surgery, sometimes combined with reshaping the disc and bone, has good results 80% to 95% of the time. Other procedures, such as those using implants, have had less success, but are the only option for some patients.
