Abstract: The purpose of this study was to compare the functional outcomes of different types of bilateral mandibular condylar fractures. This was a retrospective study of patients with bilateral mandibular condylar fractures at a level-1 trauma center over a 15-year period. The primary predictor variable was fracture pattern, classified as type I (bilateral condylar), type II (condylar–subcondylar), or type III (bilateral subcondylar). Secondary predictor variables were demographic, injury-related, and treatment factor… Show more

“…17,18,21 Some surgeons have proposed treatment guidelines for subcondylar fractures. These guidelines rely on fracture pattern 7 or degree of fracture segment displacement 26 to determine whether a closed or open approach is indicated. Nonetheless, no study to date has demonstrated the superiority of one technique for treatment of bilateral subcondylar fractures.…”

“…Multiple factors must be considered when comparing treatment options, including location of the fracture within the condylar region (i.e., head, neck, subcondylar), degree of displacement, and presence of bilateral injuries. 7 Bilateral subcondylar fractures, while less common than unilateral, constitute a particularly challenging subset of mandibular fractures to manage. These have a higher risk of recurrent anterior open bite postoperatively secondary to the absence of a vertical stop with fracture segment displacement and persistent shortening of the posterior facial height.…”
