no it's so rare.... it;s not so often
Are you saying it's rare or not so rare?
I know that surgery has risks. But some complications (such as her inability to breathe/hold her head up) occur less often than other types of complications. That's what I meant when I said rare.
for example .. you may not know that one of the joint is now a little weaker... and during surgery they will damaged it completelty, because your muscles during surgery do not protect your joints... the mouth is opened very widely
to be honest surgeon hould examine you completely to be sure for example if he can do intubation through the throat, or better something similar through the nose
he should check if it's better for you to make some special simple protector for your jaw to not cross it's normal max opening point
etc etc
they dont give a f... about very detailed diagnostics
they just want you to not die, do their job, take money and next...
Yeah, opening the jaw past it's maximal opening can be really damaging to the ligaments and discs. There's like a 4-5 month window after the discs have been displaced, to manipulate them back in. But once the ligaments have been stretched for too long, the disc will likely not recover. It's not all doom and gloom, but in some people can really cause pain and damage. I think wisdom teeth surgery is the most common culprit.
Both my joints are already both damaged and I know going into jaw surgery I risk doing more damage. I'm trying to find a doc in my country who does care about protecting the joints during surgery but its pretty hard. Even if they say all the right things, it doesn't mean they really give a damn. That's the scariest thing about all this - putting your health and life in ultimately a stranger's hands.
