Comparative StudyManagement of Mandibular Condylar Fractures: A Comparison of Closed versus Open Reduction.
To compare the closed reduction approach with open reduction (transparotid approach) in the management of condylar fractures for parameters such as postoperative facial nerve injury, trismus, and malocclusion. ⋯ Condylar fractures, Open reduction, Closed reduction, Facial nerve injury, Transparotid approach.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the biomechanical efficiency of different miniplates in the treatment of multiple mandibula fractures. ⋯ Grid and ellipse plates provide successful results and plate geometry is more critical than number in terms of stress distribution.

Background and Objectives: This research describes the management of mandibular fractures in edentulous patients with atrophic mandibles and implant-retained overdentures, exploring etiologies and treatment options. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study (January 2010-December 2023) was conducted on six patients from two hospitals (Hospital Gregorio Marañón y Hospital La Paz, Madrid). The data collected included fracture etiology, treatment type, and complications. ⋯ Surgical treatment using rigid fixation plates is recommended. The rational use of bone grafting should be taken into account. Treatment depends on fracture type, patient condition, and surgeon experience.

Case ReportsPoint-of-Care Ultrasound for Diagnosis of Mandibular Fracture in a Pediatric Patient: A Case Report.
Point-of-care ultrasound has been shown to be effective in diagnosing many types of fractures, including nasal fractures, but it is not commonly used in pediatrics to diagnose mandibular fractures. We describe a case of a mandibular fracture diagnosed by point-of-care ultrasound in the pediatric emergency department. Additional studies are needed in the pediatric population to determine if point-of-care ultrasound can diagnose mandibular fracture rapidly and accurately, expediting diagnosis and potentially minimizing exposure to ionizing radiation in patients with no point-of-care ultrasound evidence of mandibular fracture.

The objective of this study was to compile the currently available evidence regarding the functional and morphologic outcomes of functional orthodontic therapy for mandibular condyle fracture. We performed searches in PubMed and Google Scholar as well as manually (IOK issues 2008-2019) using the keywords "trauma", "TMJ", "activator", "condylar fracture", "fracture", "mandibular condylar fracture", "occlusal splint" and "functional appliance". Screening and analysis of study eligibility were performed using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). ⋯ Several studies observed an improved clinical outcome for functional therapy after mandibular condyle fracture. The outcome is essentially determined by fracture type, fracture height, and age. Further studies, especially prospective studies, are necessary to improve the evidence of functional orthodontic therapy for mandibular condyle fractures.
