“…The retromandibular approach was chosen, because it allows adequate visualization of the surgical field enabling the reduction and fixation of the bone fragments and reducing the surgical time in comparison with other approaches. [ 3 ]…”

Aim:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the retromandibular approach in the management of condylar fractures by open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF).Materials and Methods:A total of 20 patients with unilateral mandibular condylar fractures underwent ORIF using retromandibular approach. Pertinent data were collected and subjected to evaluation.Results:The retromandibular approach was found to be expeditious in adequately exposing the fracture site and enabling ORIF. The anatomic reduction of the fractured segments and the fixation was satisfactory in all the cases. Average duration of surgery was 39 min (range: 17-56 min) for satisfactory exposure, reduction, and fixation of each condylar fracture.Conclusion:The retromandibular approach provides adequate exposure of the subcondylar region and should be considered as commendable alternative in the management of condylar fractures.

“…The submandibular approach is very low for subcondylar fractures, and conversely the preauricular approach is very high; the retromandibular approach is described very infrequently in the literature as an alternative for the treatment of subcondylar fractures. [ 3 ]…”
