As with other joint<unk> s, clinical history and examination are crucial for diagnosis of a<unk> <unk> . Commonly, plain and panoramic X-ray radiographies are used to determine the relative position of the mandibular condyle. If a complex or unusual injury is suspected, three-dimensional computed tomography is most reliable in diagnosing<unk>  and possibly associated fractures or soft tissue injuries. In case of<unk> s resulting from high-energy trauma, attention must also be paid to possible other injuries, particularly blunt or indirect trauma to the skull and cervical spine. Acutely life-threatening conditions need to be ruled out or treated in first line. For superior<unk> <unk>  in particular, serious intracranial complications such as epidural hematoma are possible and must be recognized and managed to prevent disability or even death. Therefore, neurological status has to be examined in patients with complex<unk> s involving temporal bone fractures. Hearing deficits on the injured side may indicate damage to structures of the ear.
