A Novel Technique in the Management of Superolateral Dislocation of Unilateral Condyle.

Abstract

There are scarcely any reported cases of unilateral dislocation in the literature. Hence, its etiology, a possible mechanism of injury, clinical features, and effective management strategies are yet to be described. A 27-year-old male patient presented with the dilemma of unilateral dislocation of left TMJ. This was addressed by the use of a novel technique in dislocation management. Here, the author also proposes a modified classification system for the TMJ dislocation. "Wagh-Kokane's" technique of manual reduction should be encouraged in complex cases of dislocation.
