Approaches for Open Reduction and Internal Fixation of Mandibular Condylar Fracture
- Conditions
- Mandibular Fractures
- Registration Number
- NCT06333197
- Lead Sponsor
- Assiut University
- Brief Summary
The condylar region is the most frequent anatomical site for mandibular fractures .
Condylar fractures constitute 25.5% to 35.5% of all mandibular fractures. The mandibular condyle fracture is a type of fracture that affects the condyle, which is the knuckle-like projection of the mandible (lower jaw) that articulates with the temporal bone to form the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).
- Detailed Description
Several approaches have been used for condylar fracture including intraoral, preauricular, submandibular and retromandibular approaches.
The selection of the appropriate surgical approach for condylar neck fracture represents a controversy.
The purpose of this Study is to Compare the outcomes and effectiveness between the retromandibular transparotid approach and retromandibular retroparotid approach for treatment of Condylar Fracture of Mandible.
