What do you need eminectomy for? Are you referring to discectomy? If the disc is anteriorly displaced and can not be reduced manually, surgical intervention is indicated, not necessarily complete excision of the disc.

No i don't need a discectomy. I seen a surgeon and he said i need a eminectomy. They will be removing some bone on my skull where my jaw is so it will no longer lock. I am scared, because he told me that there might be a chance of nerve damage

Restriction of tmj motion by prominent temporal eminence is rare. Seeing a tmj specialist to investigate the true cause of restricted joint motion is advised.
