    Author: Lee SH, Son SI, Park JH, Park IS, Nam JH.
    Journal: Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg; 2006 Nov; 35(11):1054-6. PubMed ID: 16829033.
    Abstract:
    Various surgical procedures have been used to reduce prolonged bilateral dislocation of the temporomandibular joint, but with some complications. A prolonged bilateral dislocation of the mandibular condyle was simply reduced by a midline mandibulotomy without any complications. One year postoperatively, joint function was unimpeded and there was no recurrence of condylar dislocation.
