A promising new technique for closed reduction of arytenoid dislocation.
Journal of Laryngology and Otology 2012 Februrary
OBJECTIVES: To study the effect of a new technique for closed reduction of dislocated arytenoids.
METHODS: The study included 21 females (72.4 per cent) and eight males (27.6 per cent) with a diagnosis of arytenoid dislocation. There were 18 cases of left arytenoid dislocation and 11 of right arytenoid dislocation. Twenty-eight cases had anteromedial dislocation and one had posterolateral dislocation. All patients were treated with closed reduction using custom-made metal rods and an operating microscope, under general anaesthesia.
RESULTS: Post-operatively, 21 patients' voices returned completely to normal (including full vocal fold mobility), five had an improved voice and three failed to show any improvement. There were no post-operative complications.
CONCLUSION: This new closed reduction technique is a safe procedure for patients with dislocated arytenoids. It is repeatable and the outcome is reliable and effective. Closed reduction can be a useful treatment for arytenoid dislocation.
