Trauma A. Contemporary management of mandible, midface, frontal (and panfacial) fractures Hackenberg B, Lee C, Caterson EJ. Management of subcondylar mandible fractures in the adult patient. J Craniofac Surg . 2014; 25(1):166-171. EBM level 5.......................1-6 Summary : This review article discusses three main methods of surgical intervention used to treat subcondylar fractures, including closed reduction, open reduction with internal fixation, and endoscopic-assisted reduction with internal fixation. It also includes an algorithm for treatment of subcondylar fractures in the adult patient. Kendrick DE, Park CM, Fa JM, et al. Stryker SMARTLock Hybrid Maxillomandibular Fixation System: clinical application, complications, and radiographic findings. Plast Reconstr Surg . 2016; 137(1):142e-150e. EBM level 4................................................7-15 Summary : This article discussing a new maxillomandibular fixation technique is of interest from a practical educational standpoint to keep up to date on new surgical techniques. Kotrashetti SM, Lingaraj JB, Khurana V. A comparative study of closed versus open reduction and internal fixation (using retromandibular approach) in the management of subcondylar fracture. Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol . 2013; 115(4):e7- e11. EBM level 1.........................................................................................................16-20 Summary : This article compares clinical and radiologic outcomes of patients with subcondylar fractures randomized to receive treatment with either closed reduction or open reduction with rigid internal fixation (ORIF). ORIF was found to have better outcomes than closed reduction. Liao HT, Wang PF, Chen CT. Experience with the transparotid approach via a mini- preauricular incision for surgical management of condylar neck fractures. J Craniomaxillofac Surg . 2015; 43(8):1595-1601. EBM level 3..................................21-27 Summary : This article is a retrospective review of 58 patients with condylar neck fractures, half of which were treated with a transparotid approach open reduction and internal fixation, and half of which were treated with other surgical approaches. No facial nerve injury, infection, or hemorrhage was identified in the transparotid approach group.
