Abstract

Management of mandibular condylar fractures remains a source of ongoing controversy. While some condylar fractures can be managed non-surgically, recognition of fracture patterns that require surgical intervention and selection of an appropriate operative procedure are paramount to success in treating these injuries.The objective of this review is to appraise the current evidence regarding the effectiveness of interventions that are used in the management of fractures of the mandibular condyle.
