Abstract:
Objective To investigate the clinical effect of internal rigid fixation with miniature titanium plate for mandibular condylar fracture under endoscope. Methods Twenty-two cases with mandibular condylar fractures were treated with transcutaneous puncturing and internal rigid fixation with miniature titanium plate under endoscope. Results All cases obtained a good recovery both of facial contour and bone healing. Mandibular movement was normal in 21 cases and biting function good in 20.Conclusions Under endoscope, the internal rigid fixation for mandibular condylar fracture is a good method with little trauma, accurate reduction and stable fixation but without complication and can be used for treatment of fractures of mandibular condylar neck or subcondylar condyle.
