Abstract :
Large majority of all mandibular fractures are localized on the condyle. Proper treatment of these fractures is important for preventing the functional and anatomic disorders that may occur subsequently. However, the diagnosis and proper management of the fractured mandibular condyle is one of the controversial topics in maxillofacial trauma. In this paper, diagnosis and current treatment modalities of mandibular condyle fractures are reviewed.
