Popis:	This retrospective study about trismus after the release of maxillomandibular fixation was performed in 103 cases of mandibular fracture in our department and the following results were obtained:1. Most cases of trismus were recovered by 12 weeks after the relase of fixation. However, in the group below the age of 30 years recovery took place within 8 weeks.2. Trismus was most frequently found in multiple-line fractures.3. Trismus occurred less frequently in open reduction cases than in closed reduction cases.4. The relative frequency of trismus was unaffected by the presence or absence of condylar fracture.5. There was no definitive relationship between the period of maxillomandibular fixation and the occurrence of trismus.
