Fractures: Bone Repair01:27

Fractures: Bone Repair

3.2K
Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...

Bones of the Lower Limb: Femur and Patella01:16

Bones of the Lower Limb: Femur and Patella

2.4K
The femur is the body's longest and strongest bone spanning the thigh region. Its head articulates with the acetabulum of the hip bone to form the hip joint. A minor indentation on the medial side of the femoral head, called the fovea capitis, serves as the site of attachment for the ligament of the head of the femur. This weak ligament spans the femur and acetabulum and supports the hip joint. The narrowed region below the head is the neck of the femur. The inclination angle between the...

Overview of the Skull

4.5K
The cranium (skull) is the skeletal structure of the head that supports the face and protects the brain. It is subdivided into the facial bones and the brain case, or cranial vault. The facial bones underlie the facial structures, form the nasal cavity, enclose the eyeballs, and support the teeth of the upper and lower jaws.
The cranial vault surrounds and protects the brain and houses the middle and inner ear structures. This cavity is bounded superiorly by the rounded top of the skull, which...

Bones of the Lower Limb: Tibia and Fibula01:10

Bones of the Lower Limb: Tibia and Fibula

3.2K
The tibia is the main weight-bearing bone of the lower leg. It is larger than the fibula with which it is paired. The tibia is also the second longest bone in the body and is located right below the skin. The proximal end of the tibia forms the medial and the lateral condyle, which articulates with the condyles of the femur to form the knee joint. Between the articulating surfaces is the irregular elevated area known as the intercondylar eminence that serves as the inferior attachment point for...

Structural Joints: Fibrous Joints01:03

Structural Joints: Fibrous Joints

2.0K
Fibrous joints are a type of joint where the bones are connected by fibrous connective tissue. These joints provide stability and minimal to no movement between the articulating bones. There are three types of fibrous joints.
Suture
All the bones of the skull, except for the mandible, are joined to each other by a fibrous joint called a suture. The fibrous connective tissue found at a suture strongly unites the adjacent skull bones and thus helps to protect the brain and form the face. In...

Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus01:19

Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus

3.1K
The upper limb consists of the arm, forearm, wrist, and hand bones. The humerus is the single bone of the upper arm region. Proximally, it has a large, spherical, smooth head that articulates with the glenoid cavity of the scapula to form the glenohumeral or shoulder joint. The margin of the head is the anatomical neck, a residual epiphyseal plate. Laterally it extends to form bony projections called the greater tubercle and the lesser tubercle. Next to the tubercles is the surgical neck, a...

    Summary

    Mandibular condyle fractures are common, with treatment choices including observation, conservative, or surgical methods. Malocclusion is a frequent complication requiring potential secondary treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Orthodontics
    • Traumatology

    Background:

    • Fractures of the mandibular condyle are a frequent occurrence in mandibular trauma.
    • Treatment decisions for these fractures involve various options, including watchful waiting, conservative management, and surgical intervention.
    • The optimal treatment strategy is often debated and depends on multiple patient-specific factors.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the common treatment modalities for mandibular condyle fractures.
    • To highlight malocclusion as a significant complication of mandibular condyle fractures.
    • To emphasize the potential need for secondary treatment due to malocclusion.

    Main Methods:

    • This abstract is based on a review of existing literature and clinical practices regarding mandibular condyle fractures.
