An unusual case of condylar dislocation

Reduction of superior-lateral intact mandibular condyle dislocation with bone traction hook

“…The related mandibular fracture obviously promoted the rotation and movement of the ramus, which would facilitate the superior or lateral dislocation of the condyle as observed in the current case and previously reported cases2,6-9,11,13,17. As described by other authors, however, intact mandibular condyle dislocations may also occur occasionally without traumatic fractures5,12,14,16.…”

Post-traumatic superolateral dislocation of condyle: A case series of 18 condyles with review of literature and a proposed classification.

“…The goal of the treatment for SDMC is to reposition the condyle into its original physiological position and closed reduction is first choice of treatment as it is the simplest, least traumatic and safest if managed early. 9,15,16 Maximal inter incisal mouth opening of 30 mm and good occlusal relationship 5 months post operatively is regarded as good sign of successful treatment of condylar dislocation. 16 SDMC in all of our cases were corrected by closed or manual reduction under general anesthesia.…”

Unusual Supero-Lateral Dislocation of Intact Bilateral Mandibular Condyles Associated with Right Parasymphysis Mandibular Fracture:A Case Report and Review of Literature

“…The rest 6 cases were type I dislocated. The Worthington described his type of case with the term unusual and the information was not available for the case of Radhakrishkna (Table III) (Table IV) [1][2][3][4]7,10,12,13,[22][23][24][25][26][27][28] while 34 dislocations (46.26%) was managed by surgical modalities [5][6][7]9,11,14,[16][17][18][19][20][21][22]24,26,27,29] while no treatment was given for 2 cases (2.98%) resulting in fibrosseous ankylosis [4] (Table V). It can be concluded that most of all surgeons had used open reduction techniques for management of supero-lateral dislocation.…”
