Abstract
|
|
|
The dilemma regarding the management of condylar fractures generally revolves around the surgical approach, implant design, and the surgeon¡¯s experience. Zide and Kent¡¯s guidelines streamlined the decision making process for condylar fractures. However, there exists no standardized protocol for reduction and fixation of condylar fractures. Here, we have described a detailed and stepwise protocol, common to any surgical approach, that would lead to predictable, reproducible, and repeatable results in every surgeon¡¯s hands.
