Eminectomy is a surgical procedure that reduces the articular eminence of the jaw joint to correct chronic dislocation or closed lock of the mandible. Appropriate patient selection is described as critical to a successful outcome, and the procedure can be repeated on the opposite side when a bilateral eminectomy is required.
