Subcondylar fractures in young dogs

215 Mandible Fractures in 120 Children

“…For example, Teixeira et al created condylar head fractures in rats and reported resultant significant growth asymmetries, 41 and another group performed a small canine study demonstrating no mandibular growth disturbance after condylectomy or subcondylar fracture and transosseous wiring. 42 Luz and de Araújo created subcondylar fractures in a rat model, and found mandibular deviation toward the operated side in both animals undergoing fracture and animals undergoing only sham mandible exposure. The condyle was found to normalize its position in the glenoid fossa by 1 month after surgery.…”

A Case of Bifid Mandibular Condyle

“…Since Hrdlička first reported the condition in skull specimens in 1941, there have been 50 reports concerning bifid mandibular condyles [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. The degree of condylar head separation is variable, with some cases having only a 1-2-mm indentation in the condylar head, while others have complete separation of the heads.…”
