Treatment for traumatic craniofacial deformation with restriction of the temporomandibular joint in a dog.
A 4-month-old intact female golden retriever dog was presented with inability to open the mouth due to traumatic craniofacial deformation. Following a complete imaging workup with computed tomographic evaluation of the skull, the right zygomatic arch and ramus of the mandible were resected. The range of motion of the temporomandibular joint was increased from 2 to 6-cm.
