articular disc , także: articular disk

The articular disc that cushions the joint shifts out of place.

Reposition the articular disc, which cushions the ball and socket of the jaw joint.

You may have damaged the articular disc, a thin, oval plate of fibrocartilage in the wrist.

The unique feature of the TMJs is the articular disc.

The articular disc is a fibrous extension of the capsule in between the two bones of the joint.

Menisectomy, also termed discectomy refers to surgical removal of the articular disc.

In order to work properly, there is neither innervation nor vascularization within the central portion of the articular disc.

TM procedures are sometimes used to alter or remove an articular disc, connective tissue, muscle, or bone.

Due to its concave shape, sometimes the articular disc is described as having an anterior band, intermediate zone and a posterior band.

The function of the lower head is to steady the articular disc as it moves back with the condyle into the articular fossa.

Anterior disc displacement without reduction refers to an abnormal forward, bunched-up position of the articular disc which does not reduce.

The articular disc provides a cushion between the ball and socket of the temporomandibular (TM) joint .

The TMJs are one of the few synovial joints in the human body with an articular disc, another being the sternoclavicular joint.

Formation of the TMJ occurs at around 12 weeks in utero when the joint spaces and the articular disc develop.

It attaches to the articular eminence, the articular disc and the neck of the mandibular condyle.

These two bones are actually separated by an articular disc, which divides the TMJ into two distinct compartments.

When used to treat temporomandibular (TM) joint disorder, this usually involves the articular disc that cushions the jaw joint.

Most joint sounds are due to internal derangement of the joint, which is a term used to describe instability or abnormal position of the articular disc.

Complex Joint: 2 or more articulation surfaces and an articular disc or meniscus (e.g. knee joint)

The sternoclavicular articulation is a synovial double-plane joint composed of two portions separated by an articular disc which is made from fibrocartilage.

Arthroscopy is also used to visualize the inside of the joint during certain surgical procedures involving the articular disc or the articular surfaces, similar to laparoscopy.

The lower joint compartment formed by the mandible and the articular disc is involved in rotational movement-this is the initial movement of the jaw when the mouth opens.

Between these articular surfaces is the articular disc (or meniscus), which is a biconcave, transversely oval disc composed of dense fibrous connective tissue.

The upper head also inserts at the fovea, but a part may be attached directly to the joint capsule and to the anterior and medial borders of the articular disc.

The medial end connects with the manubrium of the sternum and gives attachments to the fibrous capsule of the sternoclavicular joint, articular disc, and interclavicular ligament.
