    Author: Shibata T, Yamashita T, Nakajima N, Ueda M, Ishijima T, Shigezumi M, Arisue M.
    Journal: J Oral Rehabil; 2002 Sep; 29(9):890-4. PubMed ID: 12366587.
    Abstract:
    Eminoplasty using T-shaped titanium miniplate was performed on 15 joints in nine patients suffering from recurrent dislocation of the temporomandibular joint with several general complications. After the conventional pre-auricular approach to the zygomatic arch and eminence, the bent over miniplate was inserted anteriorly against the articular eminence and fixed to the zygomatic arch with miniscrews to limit the over-movement of the condyle. In one case, the miniplate fractured, but no recurrence of dislocation was observed. In another case, it was possible to evaluate the mandibular movement by Sirognathograph analysis, which proved satisfactory function of the joints.
