One of the many growth anomalies that affect the mandibular condyle is hemimandibular elongation without any condylar hyperplasia. Condylar growth patterns can be evaluated by serial clinical comparisons, cephalometric tracings and bone scanning with technetium 99m phosphate. However, no ideal method has been found to assess whether condylar overgrowth is “inactive”. Therapy is guided by the pa...

BACKGROUND This study was performed to evaluate three-dimensional positional change of the condyle using three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) following unilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (USSRO) in patients with mandibular prognathism. METHODS This study examined two patients exhibiting skeletal class III malocclusion with facial asymmetry who underwent USSRO for a mandibular ...

introduction: this study was conducted to investigate the side effects of closed reduction method as a treatment modality of unilateral condylar fractures of the mandible in patients referred to shahid beheshti university hospital (babol, iran) over than one decade (2002 to 2012). materials and methods: to accomplish this study, patient’s data were collected referring to their files in shahid b...

The purpose of this research was to compare the reliability of two different methods for cranial midline localization through cephalometric analysis of mandibular condyle asymmetries. A retrospective cohort study was performed analyzing consecutively the SMV radiograms of 47 patients undergoing oral surgery before orthodontic treatment at the Dental School, University of Trieste (Italy) from 20...

Mandibular condylar cartilage plays a crucial role in temporomandibular joint (TMJ) function, which includes facilitating articulation with the temporomandibular joint disc and reducing loads on the underlying bone. The cartilage experiences considerable tensile forces due to direct compression and shear. However, only scarce information is available about its tensile properties. The present st...

HUMERAL condylar fractures are among the most common fractures seen in dogs and account for approximately 20 per cent of the author’s canine fracture caseload, although this is a referral population and probably does not represent the true incidence of these injuries. It has long been recognised that spaniels are predisposed to humeral condylar fractures. It is now recognised that many of these...

Objective: To evaluate the importance of tip apex distance in implant failure intertrochanteric fracture femur treated with Dynamic hip screw, so that optimum should maintain to decrease DHS. Study Design: It was a descriptive cross sectional study. Setting and Duration: Patients were selected from orthopedic unit Nishtar Hospital, Multan, July 2020 June 2021. Methodology: All patients meeting ...

OBJECTIVES To review the primary and the final results of surgical management of ipsilateral femoral neck and shaft fractures. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Seventeen patients (2 female, 15 male, average age 37 years, range 20-60) with ipsilateral femoral neck and shaft fractures were treated by compression plate fixation for the femoral shaft fractures and dynamic hip screw or cannulated cancellous s...
