ABSTRACT A change in condylar positioning is one of the area of concern following orthognathic surgery which may occur due to numerous reasons like paralysis of the muscles of mastication, fixation methods, malalignment of the bone segments and more commonly due to inadvertent force used to bring the jaws in to occlusion. Deranged position of condyle may lead to relapse following surgery and also causes TMD sequelae. Condylar position in the glenoid fossa can be secured during orthognathic surgery by using condylar positioning device. The role and design of the condylar positioning device has been discussed in detail in this technical note. How to cite this article Shah PD, Mukherji S.

We describe a case of extensively comminuted mandibular fracture that extends bilaterally to the angle of mandible successfully treated with the use of condylar positioning device (CPD). This simple, yet effective, technique that almost exclusively described in orthognathic surgery is useful when advance surgical techniques such as pre- or intraoperative landmark identification may not be readily available. CPD technique optimizes the manual manipulations of the comminuted distal segments during fracture reduction and internal fixation. At the same time, it allows greater control of the proximal segments to avoid further surgical complication.
