ABSTRACT
Rationale The rationale was to establish a permanent surgical solution for nonreducing dislocations of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Patient Concerns The patient presents with a long-standing history of chronic subluxation of the TMJ bilaterally, with the need to forcibly manipulate and reduce the dislocated jaw. Diagnosis Chronic recurrent dislocation of the TMJ. Treatment A modified Dautrey's procedure was performed on the right side, with the osteotomized segment being transferred medially and inferiorly. Outcome:
After 5 years of follow-up, there was no incidence of recurrent dislocation. Take-away Lesson This modification is a viable option in both unilateral and bilateral reducing and nonreducing dislocations.
