A patient with an Anteriorly Displaced Disc without reduction would likely complain of?

A patient with an anteriorly displaced disc without reduction typically presents with a symptom profile that includes joint dysfunction and limited mobility. One characteristic symptom of this condition is "locking" of the jaw. This occurs when the displaced disc obstructs the normal movement of the jaw, preventing complete opening or closing.

In this scenario, the anatomy of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is affected, leading to an inability to properly articulate during jaw movements. As a result, patients may experience episodes where they cannot fully open their mouth, which is referred to as "locking." This locking can happen occasionally, often during attempts to open the mouth, especially when the displacement is significant.

The other answers relate more to the symptoms associated with disc displacement with reduction or other types of jaw dysfunction. Severe pain during meals might suggest a more acute inflammatory process or another type of TMJ disorder. Occasional popping and clicking, whether with or without pain, typically indicates a condition where the disc can still reduce into proper position during movement, which is not the case in anterior displacement without reduction. Hence, the symptom of jaw "locking" aligns most closely with the diagnosis of anteriorly displaced disc without reduction.
