Unilateral coronoid hyperplasia following trauma: a case report.
This case describes surgical correction of unilateral coronoid hyperplasia in a 13-year-old boy due to trauma. Treatment included coronoidectomy by intraoral approach after the diagnosis was confirmed. Computed tomography scan and occipitomental view radiograph were utilized for investigation. The resected coronoid process was sent for histopathological study. The histopathological examination revealed decalcified sections showing osteochondroid hyperplasia at the expanded end. On clinical and radiographic review at 2 years postoperation, the patient was well, completely symptom free and had improved mouth opening. This case report demonstrates the management of sports injury related unilateral coronoid hyperplasia. Emphasis was also placed on postoperational rehabilitation to prevent any relapse.
