Summary

The condylar region is the most frequent anatomical site for mandibular fractures . Condylar fractures constitute 25.5% to 35.5% of all mandibular fractures. The mandibular condyle fracture is a type of fracture that affects the condyle, which is the knuckle-like projection of the mandible (lower jaw) that articulates with the temporal bone to form the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).

Detailed description

Several approaches have been used for condylar fracture including intraoral, preauricular, submandibular and retromandibular approaches. The selection of the appropriate surgical approach for condylar neck fracture represents a controversy. The purpose of this Study is to Compare the outcomes and effectiveness between the retromandibular transparotid approach and retromandibular retroparotid approach for treatment of Condylar Fracture of Mandible.

Conditions

• Mandibular Fractures

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	ORIF through transparotid approach	The Retromandibular Transparotid approach is a surgical method used to access structures in the parotid gland region by making an incision behind the mandible.
PROCEDURE	ORIF through retroparotid approach	The Retromandibular Retroparotid approach, also known as the Modified Blair Incision, is a surgical technique used to access structures within the parotid gland region by creating an incision behind the mandible and extending it into the parotid region.
