Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Dislocation of the temporomandibular joint occurs when the mandibular condyle is displaced anteriorly beyond the articular eminence and represents 3% of all dislocated joints reported in the body. Superolateral dislocation of the condyle into the temporal fossa is well documented in the literature, but anterosuperior dislocation without an associated fracture is rarely described. This report documents the case of a middle-aged woman with bilateral anterosuperior dislocation of the intact mandibular condyle after a fall on the face. This report reviews the literature on dislocations, suggests a nomenclature, possible causative mechanism and documents the importance of early management. |
