Let Bilateral Condylar Fracture Fixation Be the Norm and Not a Choice

In lieu of a lack of consensus among the global community, it becomes imperative to address the pitfalls in the surgical management of bilateral mandibular condylar fractures with the contemporary technique of open reduction and internal fixation of only one side. This dictum inevitably leads to postoperative complications despite the best efforts of the surgical team to optimize care. We present a case series comprising residual deformities and complications arising out of the inadequate treatment of bilateral condylar fractures. We aim to highlight the significance of open reduction and internal fixation of bilateral mandibular condylar fractures and reiterate that conventional subcondylar osteotomy is an effective method for revision surgery.
