The surgical treatment of mandibular condylar fractures represents one of the most discussed topics in maxillofacial trauma surgery. Over the years the literature has documented an increasing attitude towards open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of these fractures. Some authors have recently increased the indications for ORIF to include intra-articular fractures, which have historically been managed conservatively1,2,3. The authors present their experience in the surgical treatment of intra-articular condylar fractures over a period of five years, from 2009 to 2014. Surgical techniques, early and delayed complica-tions, clinical and radiological outcomes and comparison with conservative treatment are discussed. Keywords: Mandibular Fracture, Condylar Fracture, Trauma.

Open reduction and internal fixation of mandibular fractures by intraosseous wiring in conjunction with intermaxillary fixation remains the mainstay of mandibular fracture treatment despite the availability of newer methods. The principles of treatment are reviewed, including indications for use of this technique and its advantages and disadvantages. Various surgical techniques are also reviewed and key points in their application emphasized.

ABSTRACT The management of mandibular fractures has evolved tremendously in the last few decades. Open reduction and internal fixation with malleable monocortical titanium plates is the standard technique worldwide. The paper reviews the current concept of mandibular fracture and discusses various method and modification for different sites and clinical situations. It also covers the treatment of pediatric and geriatric mandibular fractures. How to cite this article Rai S, Rattan V. Current Perspective in the Management of Mandibular Fractures.
