  • Title: A technique for open reduction of subcondylar fractures.
    Author: Peters RA, Caldwell JB, Olsen TW.
    Journal: Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol; 1976 Mar; 41(3):273-80. PubMed ID: 1061913.
    Abstract:
    Described is a safe and efficient technique for open reduction of the subcondylar fracture. The technique utilizes a Risdon incision to expose the fracture site and a stab incision in the preauricular region. A University of Tennessee drill guide or bone screw is introduced through the stab incision to facilitate placement of drill holes in the fragments, threading of the transosseous wires, and repositioning of the condyle within the fossa.
