ABSTRACT

Mandibular fractures are the most common fractures of the facial bones, with mandibular condylar fractures occupying an important place among them. Some of their etiological factors are traffic accidents, aggressions by third persons, sports, and work accidents. There is great controversy in the management of this entity, regarding the selection of a conservative or surgical treatment; several factors are considered reasons to carry out the surgical treatment, such as the loss of posterior facial height, the position of the fractured condylar, as well as the possibility of having the patient purchase the osteosynthesis material. In this article, we present an alternative in the surgical management of condylar fractures using Boyne’s technique, as well as a brief description of the surgical technique we used in the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Service of the Medical Center «Licenciado Adolfo Lopez Mateos», which has provided us with Suitable aesthetic and functional results.
