Abstract
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dislocation is characterized by displacement of the mandibular condyle from the glenoid fossa. There are various reasons for the dislocation of TMJ, among which iatrogenic dislocation is one of the cause which is generally overlooked. Acute dislocations can be corrected by various conservative methods like manual reduction, but long standing chronic dislocation requires surgical management. Here we present a case report of an unrecognized and delayed diagnosed case of bilateral condylar dislocation following oral cancer surgery under general anaesthesia with iatrogenic fracture of ramus of mandible which was managed surgically by vertical ramus osteotomy and ORIF.
