Abstract:
Objective:To explore the therapeutic efficacy of a new access to internal rigid fixation for mandibular condylar fracture. Methods: 7 patients with 9 unilateral mandibular condylar fractures were treated with preauricular beeline incisions. The two trunks of facial nerve were dissected and separated along the surface of the superficial temporal veins. Mandibular ramus periosteum was dissected. The fracture segments were reduced and fixed under sufficient exposure. Results: This operation access provided a sufficient exposure and was convenient for reduction and fixation. All the patients recovered effectively.Conclusion: This surgical approach is one of the feasible methods for reduction and fixation of mandibular condylar fracture.
