A dislocation of the temporomandibular joint represents three percent of all reported dislocated joints.The treatment entails reduction of the deformity and this can often be achieved in a ward setting.
We present the case of a 29-year-old Caucasian man with a non-traumatic bilateral anterior temporomandibular joint dislocation. Following several unsuccessful attempts, due to both inadequate patient analgesia and sedation, joint reduction had to be performed in theatre with the patient under general anesthesia.
This case highlights the importance of providing the patient with adequate analgesia and sedation when attempting the reduction of temporomandibular joint dislocations.
颞下颌关节脱位占所有报告的关节脱位的3%。治疗需要纠正畸形,这通常可在病房环境中完成。
我们报告一例29岁白种男性非创伤性双侧颞下颌关节前脱位的病例。由于患者镇痛和镇静不足,多次尝试复位均未成功,最后不得不在手术室对患者实施全身麻醉后进行关节复位。
该病例突出了在尝试复位颞下颌关节脱位时为患者提供充分镇痛和镇静的重要性。
