An improved method of treating inwardly dislocated mandibular extracapsular condylar fracture-three times titanium plate gradual fixation method was introduced, and the clinical efficacy of this method was evaluated.
Methods
Twenty patients with extracapsular condylar fractures who underwent surgical treatment using the three times titanium plate gradual restoration and fixation method in the Department of Oral Craniomaxillofacial Surgery of the Ninth People's Hospital of Shanghai from November 2020 to June 2023 were selected as the study subjects.
Results
After condylar restoration 22 sides reached healing and 1 side was basically healed; in 3 months after the operation, the degree of opening the mouth and the type of the opening of the mouth reached normal, and 1 case had mildly poor occlusion, which required to be further adjusted through orthodontics, and there was no temporomandibular function disorder or facial nerve function damage.
Conclusion
Three times of gradual fixation with a titanium plate can make the condylar process achieve precise and stable repositioning, and make the surgical process orderly, and it is a kind of reliable fixation method for extracapsular condylar fractures.
