Background summary
Background of the study
Fractures of the mandibular condyle are common injuries that account for
between 25% and 35% of all mandibular fractures. Treatment options for
fractures of the mandibular condyle consist of either closed reduction or open
reduction with internal fixation (ORIF).
Several studies have demonstrated advantageous clinical results with closed
treatment of condylar fractures. Some studies however have shown complications
of the closed reduction; including malocclusion, particularly open bites,
reduced posterior facial height and facial asymmetry, chronic pain and reduced
mobility.
Open reduction of the condylar fractures has been recommended in selected cases
and different indications have been proposed. As well as the closed reduction,
the open approach has not infrequently been associated with complications; a
cutaneous scar and temporary paralysis of the facial nerve.
At present a consensus regarding the most appropriate method for the management
of fractures of the mandibular condyle is missing.
