Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Since the beginning of the 20th century, surgical techniques have greatly improved to provide more effective surgical treatment, minimise transoperative time, and restore function. When it comes to facial fractures, it is extremely important to minimise complications, such as facial nerve damage and scarring. The aim of this article was to address the main analyses of the types of condylar fractures and surgical approaches, providing the reader with existing possibilities to help them choose an approach which is effective and reduces the risk of complications.
