Abstract:
Objective: To evaluate different treatment methods for condylar fractures.Methods: Retrospective analyses were made of the clinical data of 56 cases of condylar fractures treated from January 1996 to December 2007.Results: Condylar fractures occurred mostly in males(82.14%),and 89.29% of the patients were aged 20-50 years.Traffic accidents accounted for 51.79% and falling 26.79% of the causes,48.21% of the cases accompanied with injuries of other parts of the body,and 89.29% restored to normal occlusion after surgical or non-surgical treatment.Conclusion: The effect of the treatment is related with the type and severity of the fractures,the choice of surgical indications and the standardization of treatment.A thorough evaluation of the fractures is necessitated.The best protocol for condylar fractures should be intermaxillary elastic traction,surgical anatomic reduction plus rigid internal fixation by Ti plate.
