The aim of this article is to highlight the importance of routinely reviewing the mandibular condyle on computerised tomography brain studies in a trauma setting, that often extends to involve the mandibular condyles in the scan parameters. We discuss 4 cases seen over the last 18 months at our institution, and review the relevant literature regarding paediatric mandibular fractures.

This report describes the case of an 83 years old woman presenting to hospital due to a fall, and acute confusion. On admission, she was diagnosed as having clinical and plain X-ray features of a pneumonia. Following treatment and recovery from the pneumonia, she was noted to have persistent clinical signs of bilateral lung crackles on auscultation. A high-resolution computerised tomography scan showed signs of interstitial lung disease consistent with pulmonary fibrosis. Of relevance was a medication history that indicated oral nitrofurantoin had been initiated in primary care for the long-term prophylaxis of recurrent urinary tract infections. Given the prolonged duration of use of ten years, we considered the possibility of this being an adverse drug reaction in the form of nitrofurantoin associated pulmonary fibrosis. This report also briefly reviews the relevant literature on nitrofurantoin associated pulmonary fibrosis and to promote objectivity in the pharmacovigilance related reporting. The report has been reviewed with the aid of two validated causality assessment systems.

Condylar Fractures

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 Chondroblastoma is one of the uncommon benign bone tumors, particularly when located in the mandibular condyle. Such a location makes its diagnosis difficult when based on only its clinical presentation and radiographic features. Herein the current report presents a case of chondroblastoma of the mandibular condyle: its clinical presentation, radiographic features, and immediate condylar reconstruction after resection. Additionally, the relevant literature is discussed to provide clinical recommendations for its diagnosis and treatment. Chondroblastoma has been reported so infrequently in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), more common entities should first be considered in the differential diagnosis of masses in this location. Osteochondroma is the most frequent bone neoplasm in the TMJ. Since a correct diagnosis is difficult, additional tools, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and immunohistochemical analyses, should be used for diagnostics and surgical planning.

Joint Ankylosis

A rapidly increasing number of mandibular condylar fractures and some complications related to injuries of temporomandibular elements make this study important. Intra-articular disorders lead to secondary pathological findings such as osteoarthritis, deforming osteoarthrosis, and temporomandibular joint ankylosis that limits mouth opening, mastication, swallowing, breathing, and decreased/lost working capacity or disability. Early diagnosis of intra-articular disorders can prevent from long-lasting functional complications caused by temporomandibular joint injuries. This study was performed for the purpose of early detection and investigation of organic pathological changes in the cartilaginous and osseous tissues of the temporomandibular joint caused by traumatic fractures of the mandibular condyle. Twenty patients underwent a general clinical examination, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and immune-enzyme testing for biochemical markers of connective tissue injury (pyridinoline and deoxypyridinoline) in urine. Disk dislocation, deformation, adhesion, perforation or squeeze, tension or disruption of ligaments, and injury of articular surfaces are among complications of mandibular fractures that can be revealed on MRI. As regards biochemical findings, we revealed a sharp rise in the levels of pyridinoline and deoxypyridinoline before treatment and a lack of stabilization within 21 days of treatment.

As fraturas condilares são as fraturas maxilofaciais com maior controvérsia na literatura a respeito das formas de tratamento, uma vez que, no procedimento de escolha, envolve questões relacionadas à idade, localização e tipo de fratura, grau de deslocamento do segmento fraturado, presença de outras fraturas faciais associadas, ausência de dentes, o restabelecimento da oclusão dentária e o tempo decorrido do trauma, fatores estes que direcionam a escolha do tipo de abordagem terapêutica (cirúrgica ou conservadora, estática ou funcional). Este estudo teve como objetivo principal realizar uma revisão integrativa da literatura atual sobre o tratamento das fraturas condilares, destacando suas indicações, limitações, vantagens e desvantagens. A metodologia utilizada foi uma revisão integrativa da literatura por meio de  pesquisa bibliográfica, por meio de uma busca de artigos científicos na base de dados eletrônica PubMed e Medline, utilizando os descritores mandibular condyle, mandibular fractures, mandibular injuries, indexados no período de 2015 a 2020, que tratavam de estudos transversais, ensaios clínicos e randomizados. Após os critérios de elegibilidade, foram analisados 27 artigos integralmente publicados em língua inglesa. Os estudos demonstraram qual conduta de tratamento traz mais segurança para a intervenção, apresentando alta confiabilidade, permitindo uma evidência científica previsível e rápida, além de proporcionar um tratamento com menor custo e tempo de internação.

Condyle Fracture

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis is an intracapsular union of the disc–condyle complex to the temporal articular surface that confines the mandibular drive, including the fibrous adhesions/ bony fusion between condyle, disc, glenoid fossa, and eminence. It is a severe and incapacitating ailment that can cause mastication, digestion, speech, appearance, and hygiene concerns. This is an unusual case of a 42-year-old adult patient, who suffered from bilateral recurrent TMJ ankylosis and reported following trauma to the face. The patient had a history of mandibular condyle fracture at ten years of age. Excision of existing ankylotic mass followed by reconstruction with patient-specific total joint replacement (TJR) was carried out. Postoperative physiotherapy exercises in the presented case improved patient’s mouth opening, and mandibular movement. Patient-specific TJR procedures and postoperative physiotherapy will be helpful in cases with TMJ ankylosis.
