Clinical effect of arytenoid cartilage reposition with a suspension laryngoscope in treatment of cri-coarytenoid joint dislocation
Objective To investigate the clinical effect of arytenoid cartilage reposition with a suspension laryngoscope under general anesthesia in the treatment of cricoarytenoid joint dislocation.Methods Ten patients with cricoarytenoid joint dis-location who were admitted to our department from December 2012 to December 2020 were enrolled and underwent arytenoid carti-lage reposition with a suspension laryngoscope under general anesthesia,and the patients were analyzed in terms of etiology,surgi-cal timing,and treatment outcome.Results Among the ten patients,eight achieved successful reposition in a single attempt,one improved after two attempts,and one showed no response.Conclusion Arytenoid cartilage reposition with a suspension la-ryngoscope is an effective method for the treatment of cricoarytenoid joint dislocation,and the earlier the treatment,the better the treatment outcome.
