A, Open reduction of grossly displaced condylar fracture. Note that the condyle is at a right angle to the distal mandibular segment. The proximal fragment must be retrieved with care to prevent damage to the internal maxillary artery during repositioning. B, Figure-of-eight wiring technique to stabilize the fracture segments.

Rigid fixation of condylar fracture. Note the presence of at least two screws in the distal and proximal fragments. (Fonseca RJ, Walker

RV: Oral and maxillofacial trauma, ed 2, Philadelphia, 1997, WB

Saunders.)

Rigid fixation (with a four-hole plate) of a condylar neck fracture. Note the wire at the posterior-inferior aspect of the fracture, which is used temporarily to align the fracture segments while the rigid fixation is applied. The wire may then be removed.

The next step is the selection of a method of fixation to maintain the fracture segments in the reduced position. Some surgeons choose not to apply any fixation after reduction of the condyle. This is not advisable because the same muscular pull that caused the initial displacement or dislocation could again cause displacement of the reduced fragment.

Historically a wide variety of fixation techniques have been employed, including suture ligatures, external fixation, K wires, osteosynthesis wires, axial anchor screws, and rigid plates and screws. Because of advances in biomaterials, downsizing of hardware, and the availability of instrumentation in most operating rooms, rigid fixation with plates and screws is the most common technique. These plates afford stability in three dimensions, and placement can be accomplished through any of the surgical approaches. Percutaneous trocars have been developed to facilitate accurate screw placement in areas where access is difficult.

A, Coronal CT depicting a fragment from a previously undetected condylar fracture on the medial surface of the right condylar neck. The patient had been experiencing joint pain and a decreased range of motion. The fragment was not discernible by Panorex x-ray imaging; it appeared only by CT scanning. B, Open arthroplasty technique with distraction of condyle out of the fossa with a Wilkes' retractor to retrieve the displaced fragment.

Fractured condyle that had been completely displaced from the glenoid fossa. Note level of fracture at the thinnest portion of the condylar neck.

A

Extraoral technique for complicated condylar fracture reduction with completely avulsed condylar segments in complex fracture patterns or fractures that are difficult to visualize. The rigid plate is placed on the proximal Iragment and reinserted into the wound through a posterior mandibular incision.

B

A , This fractured condyle was so grossly displaced from the fossa that it was almost completely severed from its soft tissue attachments. The superior screws were placed out of the body, and then the entire complex was inserted into its proper position from the posterior mandibular incision. This allowed better control over the final reduction and easier placement of the inferior screws. B, Postreduction anteroposterior skull film depicting proper positioning of condylar fragment.

CONDYLAR FRACTURES IN CHILDREN

Condylar fractures in children involve mechanisms similar to those of adult injury. However, the incidence of condylar fracture among children is higher, reportedly between 4 0 % and 6 0 % . Falls from heights and bicycles are the most common causes of condylar fracture in children, with an incidence of between 3 0 % and 5 0 % of cases. Motor vehicle accidents are second in frequency ( 2 6 % to 3 4 % ) , followed by sports-related injuries (15% ) and assault ( 3 % ) . In most series, boys are affected more than girls by a ratio of 2 to 1. Carroll et al. also noted a seasonal variation in the number of fractures sustained by children; not surprisingly, the increase occurred during the summer months, when children are more active outdoors.
