Abstract:
Management of high condylar fractures involves never-ending controversies between open and closed management. Conservative treatment is the preferred treatment in high condylar head fractures. This article aims to report two clinical cases of high condylar fractures, where medial pole was fixed with open treatment, using lag screw fixation using a modified preauricular approach according to AO/ASSIF protocols and recommendations. We advocate open surgical treatment for the management of high condyle fractures, it provides an immediate physiological function to the TMJ joint and restores form.
