Unilateral mandibular condylar process fractures: a retrospective clinical comparison of open versus closed treatment

ConclusionsOur findings are consistent with those reported in the literature as both methods (closed and open treatment) produced satisfactory outcomes. The only between-group difference was the amount of maximum mouth opening and lateral excursion to the unaffected side. Further randomized studies with a larger number of patients with condylar process fractures are needed to verify the results obtained with each treatment.
