Abstract

Proper anatomic reduction of the fracture and accelerated complete recovery are desirable goals after trauma reconstruction. Over the recent decades, significant headway in craniomaxillofacial trauma care has been achieved and advancements in the management for the injuries of the mandibular condyle have also proved to be no exception. A trend in operative and reconstructive options for proper anatomic reduction and internal fixation has become notable as a result of newly introduced technology, surgical techniques, and operative expertise. © 2013 Elsevier Inc.
