Abstract

There are many causes of trismus. Aetiology can be roughly divided into muscle spasm, mechanical interference, extracapsular ankylosis, intracapsular ankylosis. Trismus caused by mechanical interference between postero-lateral wall of zygoma-maxillary complex and coronoid process following reduction of fractured facial bone is rare. Especially on maxillary bone fracture, when we faced the trismus following removal of intermaxillary fixation, we got used to solve that problem by physical exercise. We obtained good results by coronoidectomy on patients with limited mouth opening who were referred from department of plastic surgery, St. Marys' hospital, the Catholic university of Korea. We report our experience with literature review.

본 교실에서는 외상에 의한 발생한 악안면 골절의 정복 후 오훼돌기와 관골 상악 복합체 후외측벽 사이의 기계적 간섭에 의해 발생한 2명의 개구장애 환자에서 호훼돌기 절제술과 하악운동에 대한 물리치료술 후 좋은 결과를 얻었기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
