Abstract

A 28-year-old woman involved in a motor vehicle accident sustained bilateral mandibular condyle dislocation into the infratemporal fossae. Conventional manipulations were unsuccessful in relocating the condyles. By simulating the dislocations on a dried skull, it was evident that the coronoid processes were trapped anteriorly and superiorly to zygomatic arches. An open surgical approach was required to relocate the condyles.
