w d f ractures of the condylar head are generally treated conseratively because exposure and fixation are difficult without amaging the facial nerve. Conservative treatment is also recmmended for children or for patients whose condylar head s in several fragments.1 The conservative approach requires ong-term treatment, whereas open surgery can provide early ecovery of occlusion and movement of ...

The incidence of condylar fractures is high and the condylar fractures can be seen different types. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), conventional radiographic techniques such as orthopantomography (OPG) can be used in diagnosis of the fracture. CBCT is relatively a new imaging modality and uses commonly in dental implantology. In our study, it is aimed to present detailed the imaging of co...

The aim of this study is to introduce a surgical technique that can maintain blood supply to prevent condylar resorption in the extracorporeal reduction of condylar fracture. Neither the medial pterygoid muscle on the ramal bone nor the lateral pterygoid muscle on the condylar fragment was detached after vertical ramal osteotomy. Thus, reduction was performed in the intracorporeal state. Theref...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to evaluate the influence of intracapsular fracture lines of the mandibular condyle on the anatomical and functional recovery after non-surgical closed treatment. METHODS Clinical and radiological follow-up of 124 patients with intracapsular fractures of the mandibular condyle was performed after closed treatment between 2005 and 2012. The intracapsular fr...

T-condylar fractures of the humerus are a rare fracture pattern in children. The usual recommendation is to treat them with open reduction and internal fixation, in accordance to the usual practice in adult fracture patterns. This involves extensive surgical approach to the elbow to allow anatomic reduction and placement of hardware for rigid fixation. The authors present a technique of closed ...

Many operative approaches have been described for the open reduction of subcondylar fractures and rigid fixation. However, fracture portions are deep and embedded among facial nerves so that visual surgery in this region is extremely limited. Once the operative field is exposed, the displacement of the condylar head is often dislocated by the anteromedial pull of the lateral pterygoid muscle an...

HUMERAL condylar fractures are among the most common fractures seen in dogs and account for approximately 20 per cent of the author’s canine fracture caseload, although this is a referral population and probably does not represent the true incidence of these injuries. It has long been recognised that spaniels are predisposed to humeral condylar fractures. It is now recognised that many of these...

Condylar fractures in children are especially important because of the risk of a mandibular growth-center being affected in the condylar head, which can lead to growth retardation and facial asymmetry. The purpose of this article is to follow up the two and half year clinical and radiological evaluation of the conservative treatment of a 10 year-old patient, who had a unilateral green-stick typ...

Background: Distal Femur fractures are one of the common fractures occurring in road traffic accidents. Various modalities are used for fracture of distal femur, one of them is condylar buttress plate. Various studies have claimed better results in surgical management of distal femur fracture. This study was planned to compare two treatment modalities for supracondylar and intercondylar fractur...

Introduction. The mandibular condyle is the most common site of mandibular fracture. Surgical treatment of condylar fractures by open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) demands direct visualization of the fracture. This project aimed to investigate the anatomic relationship of the tragus to the facial nerve and condylar process. Materials and Methods. Twelve fresh hemicadavers heads were us...
