A comparison between two samples of patients with condylar fractures is reported: the first treated non-surgically and the second with open reduction and rigid internal fixation. The functional results for both groups were similar. However, open reduction gave better occlusal results, anatomic restoration and faster recovery rates than non-surgical techniques.

Abstract

A comparison between two samples of patients with condylar fractures is reported: the first treated non-surgically and the second with open reduction and rigid internal fixation. The functional results for both groups were similar. However, open reduction gave better occlusal results, anatomic restoration and faster recovery rates than non-surgical techniques.
