Abstract
Abstract: ObjectiveThe classic technique for open reduction of subcondylar fracture is the submandibular approach. The aim of this study was to evaluate long-term clinical and radiologic results of the short retromandibular approach to displaced subcondylar fractures.Material/MethodsDuring a period of 66 months we performed a prospective study with a modified version of the retromandibular approach in 38 patients with displaced subcondylar fractures. In this article we describe clinical and radiologic results in 19 patients with follow-ups longer than 6 months (range, 6 to 66 months). Preoperatively all patients had malocclusion and radiology demonstrated displacement.ResultsThe retromandibular surgical approach was successful in all cases. Roughly 25 months after surgery, mouth opening was 43 mm with symmetric laterotrusive movements. Permanent marginal nerve palsy was never observed.ConclusionsOur findings indicate that the short retromandibular approach is an easy and safe technique for displaced subcondylar fractures.

The aim of this study was to evaluate long-term clinical and radiologic results of the short retromandibular approach to displaced subcondylar fractures.Material/MethodsDuring a period of 66 months we performed a prospective study with a modified version of the retromandibular approach in 38 patients with displaced subcondylar fractures. In this article we describe clinical and radiologic results in 19 patients with follow-ups longer than 6 months (range, 6 to 66 months). Preoperatively all patients had malocclusion and radiology demonstrated displacement.ResultsThe retromandibular surgical approach was successful in all cases. Roughly 25 months after surgery, mouth opening was 43 mm with symmetric laterotrusive movements. Permanent marginal nerve palsy was never observed.ConclusionsOur findings indicate that the short retromandibular approach is an easy and safe technique for displaced subcondylar fractures.</abstract><subject><genre>article-category</genre><topic>Oral and maxillofacial surgery</topic></subject><relatedItem type="host"><titleInfo><title>Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, Oral Radiology and Endodontology</title></titleInfo><titleInfo type="abbreviated"><title>YMOE</title></titleInfo><genre type="journal" authority="ISTEX" authorityURI="https://publication-type.data.istex.fr" valueURI="https://publication-type.data.istex.fr/ark:/67375/JMC-0GLKJH51-B">journal</genre><originInfo><publisher>ELSEVIER</publisher><dateIssued encoding="w3cdtf">199609</dateIssued></originInfo><identifier type="ISSN">1079-2104</identifier><identifier type="PII">S1079-2104(96)X8341-0</identifier><part><date>199609</date><detail type="volume"><number>82</number><caption>vol.</caption></detail><detail type="issue"><number>3</number><caption>no.</caption></detail><extent unit="issue-pages"><start>235</start><end>358</end></extent><extent unit="pages"><start>248</start><end>252</end></extent></part></relatedItem><identifier type="istex">BC618052D6B5627BEF3BB21D5CB9B8C20DFDC87B</identifier><identifier type="ark">ark:/67375/6H6-NLMBSH17-M</identifier><identifier type="DOI">10.1016/S1079-2104(96)80347-7</identifier><identifier type="PII">S1079-2104(96)80347-7</identifier><identifier type="ArticleID">96803477</identifier><accessCondition type="use and reproduction" contentType="copyright">©1996 Mosby-Year Book, Inc.</accessCondition><recordInfo><recordContentSource authority="ISTEX" authorityURI="https://loaded-corpus.data.istex.fr" valueURI="https://loaded-corpus.data.istex.fr/ark:/67375/XBH-HKKZVM7B-M">elsevier</recordContentSource><recordOrigin>Mosby-Year Book, Inc., ©1996</recordOrigin></recordInfo></mods><json:item><extension>json</extension><original>false</original><mimetype>application/json</mimetype><uri>https://api.istex.fr/document/BC618052D6B5627BEF3BB21D5CB9B8C20DFDC87B/metadata/json</uri></json:item></metadata><serie></serie></istex></record>Pour manipuler ce document sous Unix (Dilib)
