  • Title: A prospective radiological analysis of fragment displacement in fractures of the mandibular condyle: evaluation of 96 consecutive cases.
    Author: Nortje CJ, Harris AM, Lackovic KP, Wood RE.
    Journal: SADJ; 2002 Mar; 57(3):85-8. PubMed ID: 12061149.
    Abstract:
    A prospective radiological study of 96 patients with mandibular condylar neck fractures was undertaken to assess frequency and nature of mandibular condylar displacement. Data collected included age, gender, aetiology, and anatomical site of fracture and direction of displacement. Men aged 20-29 years sustained the majority of condylar fractures. Assault was the major cause of condylar fracture, followed by motor vehicle accidents and sport accidents. No anterior or posterior displacement of the condyle was noted. Medial displacement of the superior fragment was most frequently observed.
