Y1 - 2013 N1 - T2 - Emergency Medicine Procedures, 2e AB - Mandible or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dislocations usually occur in the setting of prior musculoskeletal problems of the jaw.1–3 This includes joint laxity, prior injury or dislocation, inherent hypermobile syndromes (e.g., Marfan, Ehlers-Danlos), or neuromuscular problems (e.g., dystonic reactions) that pull the mandible out of its joint. The mandibular dislocation typically results from TMJ hyperextension or trauma. The Emergency Physician must be able to reduce a TMJ dislocation. The procedure is easy, simple, and straightforward.
