PURPOSE: This study aimed to quantify articular soft tissue injury in condylar @entity174 based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings and investigate the impact of severity of articular soft tissue injury on the development of @entity260 after functional reduction of a condylar @entity174 . @entity1 AND METHODS: Fifty-four @entity1 18 to 60 years old with unilateral undisplaced, deviated, or @entity174 were included in this prospective study. Articular soft tissue within the @entity1348 ( @entity1348 ) was evaluated using MRI within 7 days after the condylar @entity174 . Based on MRI findings, such injuries were classified as grade I ( @entity5631 only), grade II ( @entity5631 and disc displacement), grade III ( @entity5631 , disc displacement, and capsular tear), or grade IV (disc perforation in association with grade I, II, or III). All condylar @entity174 were treated conservatively using a standardized functional reduction method and @entity1 were followed for 1 year. RESULTS: In 37 of 54 TMJs, MRI diagnosis of disc displacement was established, and capsular tear was observed in 12 joints and @entity5631 was present in 42 joints. Disc perforation was present in only 5  cases. @entity1 with @entity5631 alone (grade I) had the best outcome after functional reduction, whereas @entity1 with @entity5631 and disc displacement (grade II) had comparatively poorer results. Fifty percent of @entity1 with @entity130 and 66.6% of @entity1 with associated capsular tear (grade III) had @entity2133 and restricted movement at the end of the follow-up period. One hundred percent of @entity1 with disc perforation (grade IV) had @entity717 and joint noise. CONCLUSION: Results suggest that serious @entity130 and capsule of the @entity1348 is a major contributing factor toward the development of complications after closed reduction of a condylar @entity174 .
