Newer condylar trapezoidal plate in treatment of mandibular condyle fractures : short clinical study

Mandibular condyle fracture is one of the most frequent injuries of the facial skeleton. The treatment ofmandibular condyle is either closed reduction or open reduction with internal fixation. The open reduction of mandibular condyle fractures has become more favorable and gaining popularity since various osteosynthesis materials and techniques were developed in the past few decades. These include fixation with Kirschner wires, intraosseous wiring, miniplates, and lag screw fixation. In response to a increased number of needs for improved treatment in this region, a variable morphological plates have been developed with specific designs to treat such fractures. We present a case series of use of new condylar trapezoidal plate (condylar fragment plate) in the treatment of mandibular condyle fractures.

ABSTRACT Mandibular condyle fractures are one of the most frequent injuries of the facial skeleton. The option for open treatment of mandibular condyle fractures has become more favorable since osteosynthesis materials were developed in the past few decades. However, the rigid fixation techniques of treating condyle fractures remain one of the controversial issues in maxillofacial trauma. Several techniques and plate types such as adaption miniplates, minidynamic compression plates, resorbable plates, and double plates have been evaluated biomechanically in various experimental and clinical studies. The present case report is to evaluate the clinical use of indigenously developed titanium delta-shaped miniplate in open reduction and internal fixation of subcondylar fracture.

Background: Lateral humeral condyle fracture, the second most common injury around the elbow, accounts for 10-20% of all fractures of the elbow in children with a high incidence between two and 14 years.Methods: This hospital based prospective randomized comparative study design was include patients of both sexes in age group of 2 to 14 years attending SMS hospital, Jaipur during April 2018 to June 2019 or till the sample size achieved, with due permission from the institutional ethic committee and review board and after taking written informed consent from the patient.Results: 40 patients out of 50 were grouped as excellent (70.1%) while 13 were found good (22.8%) and only four patients were found poor (7.01%) as per Hardacre criteria of assessment of lateral condyle treatment in k wire group while excellent, good and poor results were found 68.4, 24.5 and 7.01% respectively in CC screw groupsConclusions: The displaced fractures (displacement over 2 mm) can be treated successfully by open reduction and K-wires or screw fixation with excellent results.

Objectives: To compare the outcome of two protocols (open reduction and closed reduction) in the treatment of mandibular condyle fracture. Study Design: Comparative study. Setting: Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Institute of Dentistry, Liaquat University of Medical and Health Sciences Jamshoro. Period: January 2016 to September 2016. Material & Methods: After selection of patient into either group, for closed reduction technique, maxillomandibular fixation was applied for 4-6 weeks. For open reduction, a preauricular incision was given and fracture was reduced and fixed with miniplates after achieving the normal occlusion. Post operatively, patients of both the group were recalled after one, two and three months for the assessment of the functional effects such as occlusion and range of motion in both groups. Results: Mean age of the patients was29.80+4.42 years in group 1 (open reduction group), while mean age of the group 2 (closed reduction group) was 23.95+6.63 years. Male were in the majority in both groups 17 in group 1 and 16 in group 2. Out of 20 patients in group 1, 11 patients had condylar neck fracture and 9 had subcondyle fracture. While in group 2, 13 patients had subcondyle fracture and 7 had condylar neck fracture. In both groups again no significant difference was found according to location of the fracture (p-value 0.20). Group 1 (open reduction) had better functional results in terms of occlusion and range of motion after 3 months as compared to the group 2 (closed reduction). P-value 0.19. Conclusion: In dealing with mandibular condyle fractures it was concluded that open reduction and internal fixation is a better technique as compared to the closed reduction with maxillomandibular fixation.

Condyle Fracture

In the maxillofacial region, mandibular condyle fracture accounts for about 10–40% of the trauma spectrum. This chapter deals with the etiology, classification, clinical features, diagnosis, and contemporary management of mandibular condyle fractures. Along with the regular management strategies, treatment protocols for geriatric and pediatric patients have also been discussed. The indications and contraindications of closed as well as open reduction and fixation of condyle fractures are analyzed in detail.
