Abstract
Maxillomandibular fixation (MMF) is a frequent issue encountered during the administration of general anesthesia. This article aims to give an overview of MMF from a surgical perspective, complications that can arise from MMF, anesthesia management strategies in MMF cases, and perhaps most importantly, an overview of how to release a patient from MMF in an emergency. Although not encompassing all situations and variables, these topics are covered in a manner that can be easily incorporated into the anesthetist's practice.
