title: [The treatment of condylar fractures by means of intramedullary nailing].
abstract: Fundamental statements regarding the osteosynthesis of condylar process fractures are made in which the author's guidelines for indication (which have been published elsewhere) have proved useful. A marrow-nailing technique is described for osteosynthesis. This technique secures sufficient fragment stabilization also in unfavourable cases. The surgical intervention is an open one. The technique permits functional loading  of the reduced fragments already within almost 14 days. Finally, a documentation of the cases treated at our Clinic is presented.
