Facial Nerve Paresis After Combined Intraoral and Preauricular Approach to High Condylar Fractures: A Case Report
1Department of Head and Neck Surgery, University of California, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA, USA.
Abstract:
Condylar fractures are the most common mandibular fractures, and a variety of open and closed approaches are used for repair, each with its own inherent risks and benefits. A 27-year-old man had a severely displaced and angulated high subcondylar fracture with anterior open bite deformity. The patient underwent open reduction and internal fixation of the condyle via a combined preauricular and intraoral approach as well as maxillomandibular fixation to repair his fracture. This combined approach allows the surgeon to maximize exposure while limiting risks of permanent injury from surgery.
