Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between the bony morphology of the articular eminence and the occurrence of idiopathic anterior temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dislocation.
Study Design: A comparative retrospective study was conducted in 14 patients with idiopathic anterior dislocations (study group) and 14 patients who did not suffer from any TMJ disorders (control group). All patients underwent multidetector computed tomography (MDCT), which demonstrated the full extent of their joints. The scans of 56 joints were reconstructed and analyzed by using the tools available in Dolphin 3 software. Gross morphology characteristics and fine morphologic characteristics were defined by measuring the articular eminence inclination and height on the lateral, middle, and medial aspects of the articular eminence.
Results: Gross and fine morphologic characteristics of the articular eminence did not differ statistically between the study group and the control group.
Conclusions: Articular eminence morphology does not affect TMJ idiopathic anterior dislocation.

Article Synopsis
- - Chondroblastoma is a rare bone tumor found at the ends of bones, accounting for about 1% of primary bone tumors. It can be invasive, and there's a risk of recurrence after traditional open surgery, which can also cause damage to the bone structure.
- - In this case study, a 14-year-old male underwent a successful arthroscopic procedure to remove a chondroblastoma from the proximal tibia. The surgery involved careful lesion excision and bone cavity management, using a substitute for autologous bone grafts.
- - After one year of follow-up, the patient showed no symptoms or knee issues, and imaging confirmed successful bone graft healing without recurrence, suggesting that arthroscopic surgery could be a viable
Characteristics of the Occlusal Plane Associated with Unilateral and Bilateral Articular Eminence Inclination: A Cross-Sectional CBCT Study.

The characteristics of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) are essential in orthodontic and prosthetic treatments. Previous studies have suggested an association between articular eminence inclinations (AEI) and occlusal plane characteristics using radiographs, but no bilateral analysis has been conducted using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). This study aimed to investigate the specific characteristics of the occlusal plane inclinations associated with unilateral and bilateral AEI using CBCT.

Objective: The objective of this study is to assess and compare the clinical efficacy of "Figure-8" banding and double-row anchor suture-bridge fixation techniques in the arthroscopic management of tibial intercondylar eminence avulsion fractures.
Method: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the medical records of 42 patients who underwent arthroscopic surgery for tibial intercondylar eminence fractures at our institution from June 2017 to June 2022. This cohort included 20 cases treated with "Figure-8" banding and 22 cases managed using double-row anchor suture-bridge fixation.

BACKGROUND Anterior reduction disc displacement (ARDD) of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) can present with pain and clicking of the jaw when chewing. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between articular eminence cortication (AEC) and mandibular condyle cortication (MCC) in 81 patients with ARDD of the TMJ using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging. MATERIAL AND METHODS We examined images of 142 patients who applied to the outpatient clinic between 2022 and 2024 for various reasons and whose radiographic records included CBCT and MRI images.
