XH01 - Introduction to Minimally Invasive Diagnostic and Operative Temporomandibular Joint Arthroscopy

Wednesday, September 30, 2026
8:00 AM - 11:00 AM PDT
CE: 6.0 CDE/CME
Ticketed <br><i>This session/event requires a ticket.</i> In-person only<br><i>This session is offered in-person only.</i>
Registration includes: 3-hour on-demand lectures to be viewed before the lab, and a 3-hour in-person lab.

This cadaveric course is designed to foster surgeons' interest in providing effective minimally invasive surgical treatment of TMJ arthropathies and provide participants with a clear, standardized introduction to diagnostic and operative TMJ arthroscopy. This course includes 3 hours of on-demand online lectures, providing participants with practical algorithms to diagnose and treat TMJ arthropathies, familiarize participants with armamentarium for arthroscopy, and cover technical steps for safe and repeatable Level I and II TMJ arthroscopy. The on-demand lectures will be complemented by an in-person 3-hour cadaveric lab with demonstrations of Level I and Level II arthroscopy. Participants will then perform supervised cadaveric arthroscopies with faculty guidance and feedback.

Learning Objectives:

At the conclusion of this presentation, participants should be able to:
  1. Diagnose and describe non-surgical management and minimally invasive surgical options for patients presenting with TMJ arthropathies.
  2. Discuss the arthroscopic armamentarium and demonstrate surgical steps to perform diagnostic Level I arthroscopy.
  3. Explain operative maneuvers possible during Operative Level II arthroscopy.
