Arthroscopic Discopexy Techniques for Articular Disc Displacement: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Anterior disc displacement (ADD) is a common temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder and may progress to internal derangements. Although arthroscopic discopexy (minimally invasive disc repositioning with fixation) has been adopted, suggested techniques and pooled outcomes have not been comprehensively synthesized. The aim of the present study was to summarize the effectiveness of arthroscopic discopexy in treating patients with disc-related TMJ disorders. Methods: This systematic review and meta-analysis followed Cochrane guidance and PRISMA 2020 protocol. Four databases were searched through 1 September 2025.
