A Modified LeClerc Procedure with Oblique Osteotomy and V-shaped Notch for Habitual Dislocation of the Temporomandibular Joint.
INTRODUCTION
In patients with habitual dislocation of the temporomandibular joint, anterior dislocation readily occurs with mouth opening in the normal range.


METHODS
This short paper describes our novel procedure, modified zygomatic arch osteotomy reported by LeClerc et al., with oblique osteotomy to create a V-shaped notch at the tip for more accurate locking.


CONCLUSION
The technique obtained favorable results without the recurrence of TMJ dislocation.
