Background: Condylar fractures of the mandible are a commonest occurrence in maxillofacial surgery. Many surgeons prefer closed therapy with maxillomandibular fixation, while open treatment with rigid internal fixation has become more common in recent years. This study provides a comparative evaluation of open and closed reduction of the mandibular condyle.Methods: The 50 patients with condylar fractures were treated with open and closed reduction as per the requirement.Results: A higher incidence of unilateral segmented condylar fractures were seen in young adult males. Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) with a combined approach was the preferred treatment of choice with fewer post-op complications.Conclusions: ORIF is a suitable technique in the treatment of condylar fractures as it promises few complications.

Mandibular condyle fractures constitute 17.5% to 52% of mandibular fractures. Open reduction with internal fixation and closed reduction are described for their treatment. Fonseca describes the absolute indications for open treatment when there is displacement of the mandibular condyle to the middle cranial fossa, foreign body invasion, extra capsular displacement of the condyle, and/or malocclusion not susceptible to closed reduction. It includes indications with vast evidence for open treatment of bicondyle fractures, condylar displacement greater than 45 degrees, reduction in the height of the mandibular ramus greater than or equal to 2mm, fractures associated with fractures of the middle third and when there is unstable occlusion. The above establishes sufficient evidence to perform open treatment in various situations of condylar fractures. Regarding the approach of the mandibular condyle region there are different surgical techniques, such as, the preauricular, retroauricular, submandibular, retromandibular, and rhytidectomy approaches.

Abstract Objective: To compare open reduction with internal fixation of mandibular subcondylar fracture with closed reduction in terms of adequate mouth opening. Method: The randomised clinical trial was conducted from March 2014 to February 2015 at the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department, King Edward Medical University and Allied Hospitals, Lahore, Pakistan, and comprised patients who presented with unilateral subcondylar fractures. The patients were randomly divided into 2 groups. Group-A patients were treated with closed reduction and immobilisation and were discharged the same day, while Group-B patients were treated by open reduction with internal fixation and retained in ward for 1 day. Both were recalled for periodic follow-ups, and were compared in terms of achieving adequate mouth opening. Data was analysed using SPSS 20. Results: Of the 70 patients, 35(50%) were in each of the two groups. The mean age in Group-A was 28.88±11.86 years compared to 28.22±10.80 years in Group-B (p>0.05). Mean mouth opening in  the two groups were consistently positive, and significant at the last two follow-ups(p<0.001). Conclusion: The difference in results of both treatment modalities was significant, indicating that open reduction and internal fixation should be the preferred treatment. Key Words: Mandibular sub-condylar fracture, Open reduction, Closed reduction, Internal fixation, Mouth opening.

As fraturas mandibulares são o segundo tipo de fraturas mais comum que acomete a face, e elas podem ter um impacto negativo na estética e anatomia facial, bem como causar problema em atividades cotidianas como falar e mastigar. Este artigo tem por objetivo relatar o caso clínico de um paciente vítima de agressão física, que apresentou uma fratura unilateral de côndilo associada à fratura oblíqua de sínfise. Paciente do gênero masculino, 32 anos, leucoderma, através das radiografias PA de mandíbula e Towne foram constatadas fratura da região de sínfise mandibular e côndilo do lado esquerdo. A escolha para o tratamento desta fratura, foi o tratamento cirúrgico com fixação interna da fratura condilar com sistema 2.0mm. Após sete dias foi iniciada a fisioterapia com espátulas de madeira para o restabelecimento de adequada abertura bucal, apresentando ao final uma recuperação satisfatória, sem intercorrências. O uso de placas e parafusos para o tratamento cirúrgico de fraturas de côndilo mandibular e sínfise se mostrou eficaz, resultando no sucesso cirúrgico com um pós-operatório sem complicações e no reestabelecimento funcional e da oclusão.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of open treatment of mandibular condyle fractures using 3D miniplates. A group of 113 patients has been chosen for evaluation, including 100 men and 13 women. After hospitalization, each patient underwent a 6-month postoperative follow-up. The material chosen for the analysis consisted of data collected during the patient’s stay in the hospital as well as the postoperative outpatient care. A single 4-hole Delta Condyle Compression Plate (4-DCCP) was used in 90 out of 113 (79.6%) cases. In 16 out of 113 (14.2%) patients, the Trapezoid Condyle Plate (4-TCP or 9-TCP) was used. The remaining cases required more than one miniplate. No 3D miniplate fractures were found in the study subjects during the analyzed observation period. Loosening of one or more osteosynthesis screws was observed in 4 out of 113 (3.5%) patients. Screw loosening was a complication that did not affect bone healing in any of the patient cases. The conducted research confirms that titanium 3D mini-plates are easy to adjust and take up little space, therefore they can easily be used in cases of mandibular condyle base and lower condyle neck fractures. The stability of the three-dimensional miniplates for osteosynthesis gives very good reliability for the rigid fixation of the fractured mandibular condyle.

ABSTRACTObjective: To analyze the complications of open treatment of mandibular condylar fractures via various surgical approaches. Methods: The study was conducted at the department of oral and maxillofacial surgery at Armed forces institute of dentistry, Rawalpindi. All adult patients with moderate to severely displaced mandibular condylar fractures were included in our study. Open reduction and internal fixation of fractures was performed by five consultant maxillofacial surgeons via four surgical approaches. Patients were assessed for complications of open treatment in terms of facial nerve paresis, unaesthetic scar, salivary fistula/sialocele, trismus and malocclusion 6 months postoperatively. Frequency and percentages were calculated for the categorical variables while chi square test was applied to compare the categorical variables. Continuous...
