Abstract :

We evaluated the safety, efficacy, and morbidity associated with the treatment of displaced mandibular condylar fractures using a retromandibular transparotid approach. The study group consisted of 9 patients who underwent surgery for 10 condylar process fractures analysed prospectively and were evaluated in terms of functional results, Stability of fixation, Scar formation, and Post operative complications. The approach offered good accessibility for fracture reduction and fixation. The recorded complications were minimal and transient. Functional occlusion was similar to preoperative condition .In conclusion, this prospective clinical investigation showed that retromandibular transparotid approach is ideal for displaced condylar neck fractures of mandible in terms of good skeletal reduction and internal fixation with miniplates and screws, also the surgical procedure provides reliable safe clinical results, immediate function, low morbidity and good aesthetics.
