The success rate for Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) surgery is 80 to 90%.
Outcomes of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) surgery, including TMJ arthroscopy, use both subjective and objective criteria based on changes in pain and maximum interincisal opening (MIO). TMJ arthroscopy has reported success rates of 80% to 90%.
