Article Abstract
Objective: 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.
Study Design: An analytical comparative study. Place and Duration of the Study: Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, The Armed Forces Institute of Dentistry, Rawalpindi, Pakistan, from 10th January 2022 to 1st October 2023.
Methodology: Patients with condylar fractures were included and divided into two groups (30 each) and condylar fractures were managed under general anaesthesia. After obtaining informed consent, condylar fractures were managed with closed reduction (maxillomandibular fixation with Eyelets or Arch Bar) in one group. In the other group, open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) via transparotid approach were performed. Postoperatively, facial nerve injury was recorded five days after the procedure. Postoperative trismus and malocclusion were recorded three months after the procedure.
Results: Better treatment outcomes in terms of postoperative malocclusion and trismus were recorded for open reduction and internal fixation i.e. transparotid approach as compared to closed reduction. Facial nerve injury was recorded for the initial period in transparotid approach but long-term results among both techniques were comparable.
Conclusion: Transparotid approach in comparison with closed reduction provides good results in the management of condylar fractures.
Key Words: Condylar fractures, Open reduction, Closed reduction, Facial nerve injury, Transparotid approach.

Background: Standing fracture repair has become established as an acceptable technique with a good long-term prognosis. However, no study has compared racing outcomes with case-matched controls.
Objectives: To compare racing outcomes between a large dataset of horses undergoing standing fracture repair against case-matched controls.
Surgical treatment of insufficiency fractures after primary total knee arthroplasty.

Insufficiency periprosthetic fractures after total knee arthroplasty are uncommon, typically nontraumatic events; however, clinical outcome data on their surgical management remain limited. We retrospectively reviewed 21 patients (18 women, 3 men; mean age = 76 years) who sustained femoral or tibial insufficiency periprosthetic fractures between November 2016 and January 2022 and underwent revision total knee arthroplasty with stemmed components augmented by bulk femoral-head allografts and autologous bone graft. Five patients with preoperative valgus alignment presented medial condylar fractures, whereas sixteen patients with varus deformity exhibited ten lateral and 6 medial condylar fractures.

Untreated mandibular condyle fractures in childhood can result in significant jaw deformities, such as mandibular retrognathism, open bite, and facial asymmetry, which may necessitate surgical intervention in later years. Surgical approaches vary depending on the severity of the condition, including mandibular surgery alone, maxillomandibular surgery, or mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO). This report highlights a case involving mandibular retrognathism and open bite with condylar dislocation and malunion caused by untreated pediatric condyle fractures.

The aim of this study was to report an intraoperative complication that has been noted during the surgical application of transcondylar screws (TCS). Although a recent study has shown medial epicondylar fissure fractures during medial to lateral TCS application in dogs treated for humeral intracondylar fissures (HIF), our study pertains to lateral epicondylar fissure fractures occurring during surgery for HIF, lateral condylar fractures and intracondylar Y fractures.Retrospective, multicentre case series, including seven client-owned dogs.

Background: Facial nerve palsy is a relatively common complication following open rigid internal fixation (ORIF) of a mandibular condylar fracture. The aim of this study was to investigate the risk factors that influence post-operative facial nerve function and the recovery process.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted based on the medical records of 329 patients who underwent ORIF treatment for condyle fractures, with the follow-up period being 24 months long.
