    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To study the X-ray and clinical characteristics in sagittal fracture of the mandibular condyle (SFMC). METHODS: 14 cases (15 sides) of SFMC in 48 cases who had condylar fractures were studied in the research, every patient was examined by the conventional x-ray, 2D-CT and 3D-CT, and followed up for 3-39 months. RESULTS: The fracture line mainly passed through lateral 1/3 and middle 1/3 of anterior condyle and the middle 1/3 of posterior condyle. Following-up (3-39 months) showed that the patients' occlusions were normal in all cases. CONCLUSIONS: The fracture line mainly located in the lateral pterygoid muscle fossa. Good results can be gotten by effective treatment. The 2D-CT and 3D-CT are valuable to the diagnosis.
