How to dislocate the jaw joint

The jaw joint should be referred to as the temporomandibular joint. TMJ dislocations are often caused by strenuous activity or trauma here. When resetting this type of patient, proper anesthesia needs to be administered, and then the reset needs to be completed on the patient using the relevant orthopedic manipulation. After repositioning, the affected area needs to be externally immobilized. The specific measures are as follows: 1. Anesthesia: For this kind of patients, appropriate anesthesia drugs can be injected into the lesion to relieve the pain during the process of reset. For some patients who are difficult to reset, some drugs with sedative and muscle relaxation effects, such as propofol, can also be applied. 2. Osteopathic manipulative reset: after sufficient anesthesia, the operator needs to wrap a bandage around both thumbs, probe into the patient’s mouth, lift and pinch the patient’s mandible, and lift the mandible upward against the direction of subluxation in order to reset the temporomandibular joint. 3. Fixation: after the patient has completed the reset, it is necessary to use the elastic bandage, starting from the top of the patient’s head to wrap around the patient’s jaw, and carry on the circular bandage, in order to externally fix the affected area. It is recommended to go to a specialized hospital for treatment.
