Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  High Condylectomy with disc repositioning  Disc repositioning with high condylectomy is an open joint procedure that increases the joint space and repositions the disc to improve the condyle-disc relationship 
Intervention  Intraoral Vertical Ramus osteotomy  Intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy is a non-articular surgical procedure that increases the joint space and decreases the joint loading that may lead to resolution of non-reducing disc displacement of the TMJ

Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Brief Summary   30 subjects fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be randomly allocated into 02 groups after informed consent. Pre-operative MRI and clinical parameters will be recorded for all patients. The patients will be randomly allocated to 02 groups. Group A will be managed by Intraoral Vertical ramus osteotomy followed by Maxillomandibular fixation for 02 weeks and Group B will be managed by high condylectomy with disc repositioning by partial/full thickness excision with/without lateral tuberclectomy according to existing contemporary surgical protocols. The clinical parameters will be recorded at 03, 06 and 12 months post-operatively. Post-operative MRI will be taken at 12 months post-surgery and assessed. The results will be analysed using appropriate statistical tests to establish the efficacy of both the procedures and to establish a comparison between the two procedures
