Aetiology, pattern and treatment of mandibular condylar fractures in 549 patients: A 22-year retrospective study

Transoral vs. extraoral approach in the treatment of condylar neck fractures

“…Mouth-opening values, protrusion, and mediotrusion were comparable to those in the literature (Landes et al, 2005;Day, 2008;Schneider et al, 2008;Gerbino et al, 2009;Singh et al, 2010;Liu et al, 2013;Zhou et al, 2013).…”

“…generally unfit for open reduction and internal fixation, as the open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) results are superior regarding long-term function and morphological restitution (Baker et al, 1998;Landes et al, 2005;Stiesch-Scholz et al, 2005;Eckelt et al, 2006;Landes et al, 2006;Landes et al, 2008aLandes et al, , 2008bNussbaum et al, 2008;Laskin, 2009;Abdel-Galil et al, 2010;Liu et al, 2013).…”

Maxillofacial Fractures in Women and Men: A 10-Year Retrospective Study

“…An interesting finding was that in the 11-20 years old age group, women were more frequently involved than men were. This indicates that females in China tend to take an early active role in society, thus suffering injuries like the males at the attainment or onset of puberty 43 .…”

Multidetector computed tomography of maxillofacial fractures

“…Condylar fractures have been detected in 64.8% of all patients with mandibular fractures using MDCT [11]. For other studies, 48.0% of patients with mandibular fractures had condylar fractures using radiographic examination [12], and condylar fractures accounted for 50.1% of the mandibular fractures using panoramic radiography and CT examinations [13]. We consider that prevalence of condylar fractures using MDCT was higher than those of other reports because of the exquisite sensitivity of MDCT.…”
