Mandibular fractures, accompanied by condylar process injuries are the most
difficult from the viewpoint of their diagnostic and treatment. Such kind of
fractures are quite common, especially in combination with mandibular body
injuries of different localization. The orthopedic and surgical treatment
indications of the above-described fractures have not been detected in
literature. Inadequate treatment of condylar process fractures leads to serious
post-traumatic complications such as TMJ arthroso-arthritis, ankylosis, false
joint etc. In the present work a thorough analysis of methods of condylar
process osteosynthesis and their usage indications are given.
