Abstract :
We describe a case of extensively comminuted mandibular fracture that extends bilaterally to the angle of mandible successfully
treated with the use of condylar positioning device (CPD). )is simple, yet e2ective, technique that almost exclusively described in
orthognathic surgery is useful when advance surgical techniques such as pre- or intraoperative landmark identi5cation may not be
readily available. CPD technique optimizes the manual manipulations of the comminuted distal segments during fracture reduction
and internal 5xation. At the same time, it allows greater control of the proximal segments to avoid further surgical complication
