Hence, maxillofacial surgeons should be familiar with epidemiology of mandibular condylar fracture. Demography of the patients, causation, and characteristics of the fracture depends on various socio-economic factors. Mandibular condylar fracture is one of the commonest maxillofacial fractures treated by maxillofacial surgeons. Thapa, Swosti Wang, Jun Hu, Hong-Tao Zhang, Fu-Gui Ji, Ping Statistical difference was observed between these 2 groups (P condyle fractures should be treated by surgical reduction with the maintenance of the attachment of lateral pterygoid muscle, which is beneficial to repositioning the dislocated condyle to its original physiological position, to closure of the mandibular lingual gap, to restore the mandibular width.Įpidemiology of Surgically Managed Mandibular Condylar Fractures at a Tertiary Referral Hospital in Urban Southwest China. Seventeen of 22 condyle fractures were repositioned in the surgery group, whereas 4 of 22 condyle fractures were repositioned in the close treatment group. The surgical effect between these 2 groups was compared based on clinical examination and radiographic examination results.

Twenty-two sites were treated by open reduction, and all the medial condylar fragments were fixed with titanium screws whereas the other 22 sites underwent close treatment. Twenty-eight patients with MSF&DICF were included in this study. To evaluate the treatment methods of mandibular symphyseal fracture combined with dislocated intracapsular condylar fractures (MSF&DICF) and to compare the effect of different treatment methods of condylar fractures.
