Summary
Treating upper condyle fractures can be challenging. A custom titanium mesh and miniplate effectively repositioned and stabilized a difficult condyle fracture, improving patient outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Biomaterials Engineering
Background:
- Open reduction and internal fixation of condyle fractures, particularly in the upper region, present surgical challenges.
- Accurate repositioning and stable fixation of condylar fragments are crucial for successful treatment.
- Existing methods may have limitations in managing complex condylar neck fractures.
