| Popis: | Background: There are several treatment approaches for mandibular condyle fractures. Type of fracture, clinical experience, and preference of the operating surgeon dictate the approach. Given this highly varied outcome, this manuscript intends to document the treatment experience of 75 patients with extracapsular condyle fractures using author's modification of the traditional endaural approach in the region. Materials and Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed on patients with mandibular condylar fractures who visited the author's center between 2004 and 2014. For the surgical reduction and fixation, an endaural (ear) approach via the author's modification of Al-Kayat Bramley's incision in the superficial temporal region was used. Postoperative clinical parameters were evaluated which include the degree of mouth opening, chin deviation during mouth opening, occlusal relationship, temporomandibular joint function, radiographic stability, and other postoperative complications of condylar fractures such as infection, plate fracture, and permanent paralysis of facial nerve. Adolescence/adult patients with unilateral/bilateral condylar fracture who underwent open reduction with the follow-up of at least 1 year were included in the study. Edentulous and patients |
