Condylar fracture management

Condylar fracture is a common facial fracture related to interpersonal violence, automobile accidents, motorcycle accidents, falls, and other trauma. Treatment can be conservative or surgical, with each approach having its adherents and offering advantages and disadvantages. Factors to consider when selecting a management option include the cause of the injury, the patient ’s oral health status, time between injury and treatment, specifics of the injury itself, predictable complications, and the expected long-term results.
