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.

Condyle Fracture

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.

Observation Period

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.

The challenges for scientific journals at the beginning of 21st century are exciting but formidable. In addition to reporting faithfully new knowledge and new ideas, each journal, or at least all those aiming for a general readership, has to cater for a potentially huge lay readership waiting at the internet portals, a hungry press eager for juicy titbits, and core readers who, while impressed to some extent by weighty contributions to knowledge, are also looking for lighter material that is both informative and entertaining. In the past this type of content was frowned on as mere journalism, fluff of short-term appeal but no real substance. The lighter approach was pioneered by Michael O'Donnell as editor of World Medicine in the 1970s, who introduced a brand of racy articles, debates and controversial issues in a tone of amusing and irreverent iconoclasm. At this time it was dismissed as a comic by some of the learned journals but its popularity ensured that in subsequent years its critics quietly followed suit, as any current reader of the British Medical Journal and the Lancet will testify.

Mandibular accessory condyle is rare. Literature search found most of the accessory condyles to arise from the mandibular coronoid process due to hyperactivity of attached temporalis muscle. Although neoplastic growth at mandibular coronoid mimicking an accessory condyle also been cited. Absence of report in recent publications regarding accessory mandibular condyle arising from the main mandibular condyle makes this anomali extremely rare. The present case report is about a true accessory mandibular condyle which caused the patient facial and occlusal disharmony. A 3D computerized tomographic imaging ascertained the exact location of the accessory condyle, its origin and resting position of the accessory and the main condylar head. The facial and occlusal disharmony settled completely within a short postoperative time following surgical intervention and mild elastic traction.Delta Med Col J. Jan 2016 4(1): 45-50

Condyle Fracture

The fractures of the mandibular condyle are commonly encountered in maxillofacial surgical practice. The controversies to open or not to open are still ongoing. We have used both techniques, to successfully manage our patients. Open treatment of condyle fracture with or without dislocation is technically challenging. We used a “Direct Transparotid” approach in treating 13 condyle fractures over a period of 4 years. The patients were evaluated for facial nerve injury, salivary fistula, scar, function, and occlusion over a period of 12 months. There were no major complications with acceptable scar, both intraoperatively and postoperatively. The script aims at presenting our experience of direct transparotid approach surgical technique.

ABSTRACT Although leiomyoma is one of the commonest uterine tumors prevalent among reproductive aged women, certain types like parasitic fibroid are rare and among these the primary variety rarer. The present case report is of a primary parasitic fibroid of large size neither connected with uterus and adnexae nor having any history of previous laparoscopic procedures. Aim of our reporting is to acknowledge the rarity, clinical parameters and management. How to cite this article Mandal D, Dattaray C, Roy S.
