Abstract

The endoscopic assisted approach for the treatment of condylar fracture is a less invasive alternative treatment modality and is considered to be able to overcome the limited access to the operation field to obtain an accurate reduction and fixation. Six patients with condylar neck and subcondylar fracture underwent the endoscopic assisted open reduction and internal fixation through the transoral approach at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Seoul National University Dental Hospital. The endoscope was inserted through an intraoral incision and the reduction of fracture fragment was performed via a transbuccal approach with two transcutaneous stab incisions. Five patients showed anatomic reduction without any complications. One patient, whose fracture site was fixed with a single plate, showed displacement of fractured condylar segment during the follow up period. No patient had any facial nerve damage.
