About this trial

The condylar region is the most frequent anatomical site for mandibular fractures .

Condylar fractures constitute 25.5% to 35.5% of all mandibular fractures. The mandibular condyle fracture is a type of fracture that affects the condyle, which is the knuckle-like projection of the mandible (lower jaw) that articulates with the temporal bone to form the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

ALL Patients diagnosed with Extra Capsular Fracture of Mandibular Condyle amenable for surgery.

Disqualifiers

1. Open Laceration in the condylar region. 2. Concomitant traumatic Facial Nerve injury. 3. Previous Surgery in Retromandibular region. 4. Severe Obese patients 5. Patients Refusing Surgery.

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • ORIF through transparotid approach

    Procedure/Surgery

    The Retromandibular Transparotid approach is a surgical method used to access structures in the parotid gland region by making an incision behind the mandible.

  • ORIF through retroparotid approach

    Procedure/Surgery

    The Retromandibular Retroparotid approach, also known as the Modified Blair Incision, is a surgical technique used to access structures within the parotid gland region by creating an incision behind the mandible and extending it into the parotid region.

Treatment groups

30 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: transparotid approchExperimental treatment 1 intervention
Group B: Retroparotid approchExperimental treatment 1 intervention
