“…Non-surgical treatment in acute TMJ dislocation involves manual reduction using the Hippocratic, wrist pivot or extra oral techniques or a combination of these techniques 24 . Similarly, manual reduction in acute TMJ dislocation using a bone hook has been reported 32 . Manual reduction was successful in 13 (59.1%) of our patients, which was a higher success rate than the 27.6% 9 reported by another study.…”

ObjectivesDislocation of the temporomandibular joint may occur for various reasons. Although different invasive methods have been advocated for its treatment, this study highlights the value of non-invasive treatment options even in chronic cases in a resource-poor environment.Materials and MethodsA seven-year retrospective analysis of all patients managed for temporomandibular joint dislocation in our department was undertaken. Patient demographics, risk factors associated with temporomandibular joint dislocation and treatment modalities were retrieved from patient records.ResultsIn all, 26 patients were managed over a seven-year period. Males accounted for 62% of the patients, and yawning was the most frequent etiological factor. Conservative treatment methods were used successfully in 86.4% of the patients managed. Two (66.7%) of the three patients who needed surgical treatment developed complications, while only one (5.3%) patient who was managed conservatively developed complications.ConclusionTemporomandibular joint dislocation appears to be associated with male sex, middle age, yawning, and low socio-economic status, although these observed relationships were not statistically significant. Non-invasive methods remain an effective treatment option in this environment in view of the low socio-economic status of the patients affected.

Temporomandibular joint dislocation refers to the dislodgement of mandibular condyle from the glenoid fossa. Anterior and anteromedial dislocations of the mandibular condyle are frequently reported in the literature, but superolateral dislocation is a rare presentation. This report outlines a case of superolateral dislocation of an intact mandibular condyle that occurred in conjunction with an ipsilateral mandibular parasymphysis fracture. A review of the clinical features of superolateral dislocation of the mandibular condyle and the possible techniques of its reduction ranging from the most conservative means to extensive surgical interventions is presented.

“…Various techniques of reduction of bilateral superolaterally dislocated condyles have been described in literature such as Finck's technique in which traction wires are passed through the holes drilled in the mandibular angle region to facilitate the reduction of dislocated condyle into the glenoid fossa [10,16]. The other method of reduction is the application of bone hook placed at the sigmoid notch through a stab incision at the same level, followed by applying a outward traction to facilitate the reduction of condyle into glenoid fossa [17]. More recently, Temiz et al [14] introduced the Muselet technique as a useful intraoral method of reduction of laterally displaced condyle.…”
