Endoscopic Surgery for Condylar Fractures
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
This study was done to evaluate the role of endoscope in reduction of condylar/subcondylar fracture. It reviewed: 1) The history, 2) Anatomy, 3) Incidence 4) Etiology 5) Prevalence 6) Presentation 7) Diagnosis 8) Endoscopic Procedure. Many techniques have been described for the open reduction of condylar fractures but resulted in injury of the facial nerve or the creation of visible scars. The risk of facial nerve damage and visible scars can be reduced by minimally invasive techniques. In cases with moderate dislocation, a transoral approach is utilized to avoid damage of the facial nerve and visible scars. As endoscopic approach is a minimally invasive approach it could be used to prevent postoperative complications of open reduction.
