摘要
Treatment of fractured mandibular condyles remains controversial. In this paper we present data collected prospectively on 42 fractured condyles treated by open reduction and internal fixation. The central issue, which is sometimes forgotten, is the informed consent of our patients. To this end we have looked at the surgical morbidity related to the retromandibular approach.
