Any type of facial bone fracture creates a lot discomfort for the child as well stress parent or caregiver. The most common injury in early childhood is mandible, which occurs sequence condylar fracture, symphysis/parasymphysis and mandibular body. Depending on severity injury, jaw can be mildly displaced substantially displaced. This case study demonstrates how arch bar stabilisation simple ef...

A hip fracture dislocation with contralateral femur fracture is a rare combination. We report a case of neglected posterior dislocation of hip with Pipkins-II femoral head and medial condylar fractures associated with a contralateral femoral shaft fracture. Right hip joint was approached via the Kocher-Langenbeck, following reduction, femoral head fragments were fixed with two 4-mm cannulated c...

A 19-year-old man sustained a right parasymphyseal fracture and bilateral condylar neck fractures in a motor vehicle accident. The parasymphyseal fracture was treated by open reduction and internal fixation, and the subcondylar fractures were treated with closed reduction and maxillomandibular fixation. Three days postoperatively, a near-complete left facial nerve palsy developed. Facial nerve ...

Stress fractures may occur at various sites in the femur including the head, neck, shaft, supracondylar and condylar regions. To the best of our knowledge, stress fracture occurring in the trochanteric region has not been previously reported. We report here a case of trochanteric stress fracture in a 53-year-old female window cleaner treated with hip nailing without adverse consequences. Carefu...

AIM Mandibular condylar fractures account for 25 to 52 % of all mandibular fractures. Though current literature favors open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) condylar‑base low condylar‑neck fractures, extraoral approaches are usually considered be complicated by the risk facial nerve injury other possible complications. This study was undertaken demonstrate that periangular transmasseteric...

BACKGROUND From April of 1998 to May of 2003, the minimally invasive transoral approach for endoscopically assisted reduction and osteosynthesis of 62 displaced condylar mandible fractures was performed in 58 patients. METHODS By means of limited transoral incision, the endoscopically assisted reduction and fixation of condylar fractures was performed using 30- and 45-degree angled endoscopes...

PURPOSE The goal of this study was to evaluate outcomes in patients who had condylar neck fractures treated with 3 different plating techniques. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective study was performed on 37 patients with 40 fractures of the condylar neck that were reduced and stabilized using an approach involving exposure of the facial nerve. Stabilization was achieved with a single minipla...

Condylar injuries are often subjected to discussion and controversy in maxillofacial surgery as they constitute many of the facial fractures. The condylar area has a great clinical value due to its important components. Vital components in this area are susceptible to functional disability due to either the fracture itself or the subsequent surgical intervention. Each of the strategies for the ...

BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate the structural changes of temporomandibular joint immediately after condylar fractures with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). METHOD We evaluated 34 subjects of condylar fractures with MRI. The position, shape, and signal intensity of the condyle, disc, and retrodiscal tissue were analyzed with MR images. RESULTS Immediately after trauma, the disc was...

The goal of this research was to find the implant which would provide a better possibility of the fractured osteoporotic bone weight bearing after trochanteric fracture fixation. The authors constructed a new implant based on the conventional condylar plate, as part of a stabile triangular system. Because of the special oblique form of the screw which absolutely stabilizes vertical and horizont...
