Mandibular condylar fracture - Recent advancements in treatment strategies
Keywords:
Mandibular condyle fracture, Condylar neck fracture, Management, Open reductionAbstract
Over recent decades, significant headway in craniomaxillary trauma care has been achieved. Although perhaps not to the same extent, advancements in the management of mandibular condyle injuries have nevertheless proved to be no exception .Essentially condyle fractures are treated by closed means either by functional methods and appliances or by maxillomandibular fixation for a lengthy period, almost without operative interventions. Subsequent, controversy has evolved with regard to treatment by closed reduction, in which anatomic alignment was not expected, versus open reduction .Several surgical techniques and innovative concepts are introduced in order to minimize preoperative challenges, which are often considered the cause of postoperative complications. In addition, an appreciation of the marked impact on facilitated functional recovery after proper anatomic reconstruction and functional stabilisation has gained widespread popularity. Thus, there is an increased tendency for surgeons to perform open reduction of the displaced condyle.
