The document discusses a study evaluating the use of a retromandibular transparotid surgical approach for treating displaced mandibular condylar neck fractures. The study involved 19 patients who underwent open reduction and rigid internal fixation using two locking miniplates via this surgical method. The results showed that functional occlusion and correct anatomical reduction was achieved in all patients. There were two temporary cases of facial nerve palsy that resolved within 3 months, and surgical scars were barely visible. The study concluded that this surgical technique is a feasible, safe, and minimally invasive method for treating displaced condylar neck fractures.

fixation using two locking miniplates in mandibular condylar neck fractures Abstract We evaluated the safety, efficacy, and morbidity associated with the treatment of displaced mandibular condylar neck fractures using a retromandibular transparotid approach to reduce and rigidly fix using two 2.0-mm locking miniplates. Our surgical inclusion criteria were: patient selection of open reduction and fixation, displaced unilateral condylar fractures with derangement of occlusion, and bilateral condylar fractures with an anterior open bite. The study group consisted of 19 patients who underwent surgery for 19 mandibular condylar neck fractures; patients were analyzed prospectively, with more than 6 months of follow-up, and were evaluated in terms of functional results, scar formation, postoperative complications, and stability of fixation. The results showed that functional occlusion identical to the preoperative condition and correct anatomical reduction of the condylar segments in centric occlusion, followed by immediate functional recovery, was achieved in all patients. No patient suffered from any major or permanent complication postoperatively, although there were two cases (11%) of temporary facial nerve palsy, which resolved completely within 3 months. Surgical scars were barely visible. The retromandibular transparotid approach with open reduction and rigid internal fixation for displaced condylar neck fractures of the mandible is a feasible and safe, minimally invasive surgical technique that provides reliable clinical results.
