Discopexy

This surgical procedure is performed in patients with disc luxation without reposition and for whom conservative procedures such as physiotherapie, osteopathy, have not led to any significant improvement. It is importnat ot perform a magnetic resonance tomography in order to identify the exact position of the joint disc, also the ligament that is attached to the disc must bei evaluated.

In the case of discopexy, an anterior approach (an incision directly in front of the ear) is used to bring the joint disc back into a normal position for repair under intubation anesthesia.
