Abstract:
With creation of new fixation material, the surgical treatment of displaced subcondylar fractures is most frequently used in adults. The Eckelt compression osteosynthesis is described as an easy procedure in the current literature, but, in our experience, several problems require our attention. We report the treatment of 57 patients with displaced subcondylar fractures where compression osteosynthesis was indicated. The difficulty of this technique is presented on the basis of a 5-years experience.
