ABSTRACT:
Backgrounds: With the passage of time, mandibular condylar fractures have been treated with various surgical modalities, the choice of treatment method today continues to be controversial and varies from closed reduction to open reduction and must be chosen in relation to the type and location of the fracture always considering other associates factors such as facial injuries and concomitant diseases.
Objectives: Review the different criteria to establish a diagnosis and treatment to resolve mandibular condyle fractures recommending open reduction.
Results: Patients treated with this modality have much less morbidity and more predictable results with less postoperative discomfort
Discussion: The management of condyle fractures remains controversial, However, as time passes and comparative and analytical studies on the subject are carried out, criteria are established that facilitate decision making regarding the management and treatment of condyle fractures with open reduction.
Conclusion: Treatment with open reduction in condylar mandibular fracture has presented a more predictable development, less morbidity and adequate function
