Özet

Various methods have been developed for the treatment of jaw fractures which has a great importance in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Bone fractures have a wide range of therapeutic techniques. The treatment of condyle fractures has importance to prevent occurence of functional and anatomical disturbances. In this study, we aimed to examine the treatment methods for condyle fractures. The fixation of broken segments is essential to the treatment of condylar fractures. Open and closed reduction methods are applied for the fixation of broken segments. During the treatment, regardless of the selected technique, fixation of broken segments with minimal trauma and prevention of anatomic and functional disorders should be targeted.
