Approaches for Open Reduction and Internal Fixation of Mandibular Condylar Fracture
Sponsor: Assiut University
Summary
The condylar region is the most frequent anatomical site for mandibular fractures . Condylar fractures constitute 25.5% to 35.5% of all mandibular fractures. The mandibular condyle fracture is a type of fracture that affects the condyle, which is the knuckle-like projection of the mandible (lower jaw) that articulates with the temporal bone to form the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).
Official title: A Comparative Study Between the Retromandibular Transparotid Approach and Retromandibular Retroparotid Approach for Open Reduction and Internal Fixation of Mandibular Condylar Fracture.

Interventions
ORIF through transparotid approach
The Retromandibular Transparotid approach is a surgical method used to access structures in the parotid gland region by making an incision behind the mandible.
ORIF through retroparotid approach
The Retromandibular Retroparotid approach, also known as the Modified Blair Incision, is a surgical technique used to access structures within the parotid gland region by creating an incision behind the mandible and extending it into the parotid region.
