  • Title: A technique to verify adequacy of eminectomy for recurrent temporomandibular joint dislocation.
    Author: Han MD.
    Journal: Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg; 2022 May; 51(5):677-679. PubMed ID: 34479790.
    Abstract:
    Recurrent dislocation of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) can be highly debilitating, especially if the dislocation cannot be reduced by the patient. Despite being regarded as a 'gold standard' or 'salvage' procedure for refractory TMJ dislocations, complete mediolateral removal of the articular eminence can still lead to recurrences. A technique aimed at intraoperatively verifying the adequacy of osseous reduction in order to minimize the risk of re-dislocation of the TMJ is described.
