  • Title: Eminectomy for the treatment of chronic subluxation and recurrent dislocation of the temporomandibular joint and a new method of patient evaluation.
    Author: Sensŏz O, Ustüner ET, Celebioğlu S, Mutaf M.
    Journal: Ann Plast Surg; 1992 Oct; 29(4):299-302. PubMed ID: 1466524.
    Abstract:
    We have performed this technique bilaterally on 39 patients with chronic subluxation and 13 patients with recurrent dislocation since 1985 and have had good results with patient satisfaction. These patients had significantly higher articular eminences than normal control individuals. Also, we have used echography as a new application of an old technique, to evaluate the patients objectively in the preoperative and postoperative periods.
