Abstract: The condyle is the most common site of mandibular fracture. In present study, an attempt was made to utilize three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) images evaluate fractures and identify prognostic indicators malocclusion after closed treatment. Accurate morphometric measurements were performed using 3D-CT obtained before trauma, healing. Morphometry revealed significant differ...

The current study identified 124 lateral condylar fractures of the distal metacarpus or metatarsus over a 6-year period. Thirty were classified as displaced. Eight 30 displaced and 1/86 incomplete had concurrent sagittal axial fracture proximal sesamoid bone. A 20-degree DMPLO view is most sensitive radiographic projection to identify flexed demonstrates displacement complete fractures. Radiogr...

Fractures of the caudal portion of the mandible and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) fracture-luxation can be challenging to treat with direct fixation methods. This paper describes a simple technique for the indirect treatment of caudal mandibular fracture and TMJ fracture-luxation using a subcutaneous loop of nylon leader line tunnelled around the maxilla, incisive and nasal bones, and under the...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to report the results of extracorporeal fixation in patients with mandibular condylar fractures and compare them with the clinical results of conservative treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS The medical records of 92 patients (73 male [M] : 19 female [F], age 13-69 years, mean 33.1 years) treated for condylar fractures at the Department of Oral and Maxillofaci...

unilateral condylar hyperplasia is the main cause of mandibular asymmetry. radionuclide bone scanning is a useful procedure for functional evaluation of temporomandibular joint. in this study, 39 patients with normal bone scan and no facial asymmetry were studied. all patients were below 22 years of age. normal condylar uptake was determined in this group of patients. right & left condylar ...
