METHODS: Fifteen subcondylar fractures in 13 patients, who were treated at Ondokuz Mayis University Hospital between January 2010 and June 2011, were included in this study. Patients were operated on using either endoscopic or open approach. RESULTS: Rigid plate fixation was completed endoscopically using extraoral approach in nine fractures, while six fractures were plated by conversion to a full-open approach. In all six fractures that could not be fixed endoscopically, the proximal fragments were medially displaced, whereas seven of nine fractures that were successfully fixed endoscopically were laterally displaced. CONCLUSION: An extraoral endoscopic approach for subcondylar fractures is feasible and can be carried out with decreased morbidity. This approach is recommended for those with limited experience in endoscopy to treat low laterally displaced subcondylar fractures as their initial cases. |
