  • Title: Remodelling of bilateral fractures of the mandibular condyle.
    Author: Luz JG, Chilvarquer I.
    Journal: Acta Stomatol Belg; 1996 Dec; 93(4):167-70. PubMed ID: 9658637.
    Abstract:
    A case of complete remodelling of bilateral fractures of the mandibular condyle in an 11-year-old boy is presented. Initial radiographic examination revealed fractures of the right and left condylar neck with medial and anterior dislocation of the proximal fragment. The fractures were treated conservatively, with a short-time intermaxillary fixation and early jaw function, and thirty-five months later the patient was asymptomatic. Radiographic changes observed following treatment have revealed a gradual return to normal shape and position of the condyles.
