“…4,5 Several techniques have been proposed to reduce and fix the fractures, such as standard bone screws and plates and a long lag screw, by promising biomechanical fixation. [6][7][8][9][10][11] On one hand, the highest neck fractures (just lower than a C-head fracture 12 ) extend below the condylar head, leaving a small neck fragment connected to the head that enables the possible application of lag or positioning screws ( Fig. 1), or on the other hand, the application of a dedicated plate.…”

“…There is the opinion that insertion of 3 screws in this region is technically impossible. 6 Also, studies on the use of bioresorbable osteosynthesis materials for condyle fractures should be mentioned. [14][15][16][17] They lead to the conclusion that resorbable materials do not yet seem as strong as titanium ones.…”

“…The main advantages of this technique are: to provide reductions with greater precision and stability, to eliminate the need for post operative prolonged intermaxillary fixation , rapidly rehabilitate and restore the function in the immediate postoperative period, contributing greatly to the overall health status of the patient [12,24,25].…”

Background: The fractures of the comminuted type have a prevalence of 30 to 50% when related to the ones affecting the mandibular bone. They are characterized by the presence of multiple bone fragments involving several lines of fracture, resulting in small fragments within the same area. Usually resulting from high-energy trauma, they cause large displacements, tooth loss, as well as associated lesions in soft tissues.Cases Reports: This article aimed to report two cases addressing the simplification method in the reduction of comminuted fractures treated by the method of open reduction and functionally stable fixation, which emphasized the importance of establishing a sequence of reduction maneuvers and application of osteosynthesis for a functional, occlusal and aesthetic result of the lower facial third. Conclusion:The simplification of mandibular comminuted fractures proves to be an excellent ally when one intends to reduce difficulties of reduction of the fracture and the dental occlusion on the transoperative, as well as to facilitate the application of 2.4 reconstruction plates.

“…Condylar fracture remains to be one of the common mandibular fractures occurring at a frequency of almost 40%. [1][2][3] Even though advances in biomaterials and surgical techniques of fixation has revolutionized contemporary oral and maxillofacial surgery, the best treatment modality for condylar fractures still remains to be controversial. 3 Closed reduction has been the mainstay treatment modality preferred by majority of oral surgeons but closed reduction has been associated with long term complications namely malocclusion, pain and deviation of mandible, inadequate vertical dimension of occlusion and possible ankylosis ultimately leading to loss of masticatory function and poor esthetics.…”

Materials and Methods:A total of 30 participants were selected and randomly divided into 2 groups, each consisting of 15 participants. Patients treated with a single non-compression miniplate were placed in group 1, while those patients whose fractures were reduced and fixed by double non-compression mini plates were placed in group 2. Outcomes assessed were intraoperative time, deviation on mouth opening, malocclusion, plate bending, function of facial muscles and the relative cost of implants. Results: Out of a total of thirty patients, it was observed that those patients who were randomly assigned group 2 had better treatment outcomes and less complications as compared to the other group. Three patients with malocclusion were seen in group 1 compared with only a single case seen in group 2. Greater number of plate bending with susceptibility to plate fracture was also observed in Group 1. Conclusion: It can thus be concluded that using two plates for condylar fracture represents a more stable and sustainable solution with less complications in providing osteosynthesis.
