Articular eminectomy for recurrent dislocation.

M A Pogrel

    The British Journal of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery
    |June 1, 1987

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Articular eminectomy successfully corrected recurrent temporomandibular joint dislocation in 15 patients by restricting condylar motion. While preventing dislocation, the procedure caused temporary facial nerve weakness in some cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Orthodontics
    • Neurosurgery

    Background:

    • Recurrent temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dislocation presents a significant clinical challenge.
    • Existing surgical interventions aim to stabilize the joint but may have limitations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of articular eminectomy in correcting recurrent TMJ dislocation.
    • To assess the functional outcomes and potential complications associated with this surgical procedure.

    Main Methods:

    • Articular eminectomy was performed on 15 patients diagnosed with recurrent TMJ dislocation.
    • Patient outcomes, including recurrence of dislocation and range of motion, were monitored post-surgery.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

  • The surgical procedure was successful in preventing recurrent TMJ dislocation in all treated patients.
  • Success was attributed to the restriction of condylar motion rather than increased joint mobility.
  • Transient paresis of facial nerve branches was the primary complication observed.

    • Conclusions:

    • Articular eminectomy is an effective surgical option for managing recurrent temporomandibular joint dislocation.
    • The mechanism of success involves limiting condylar movement, and potential facial nerve complications should be considered.
