[A method for the surgical treatment of mandibular condyle fractures with dislocation of the head of the mandible].
A new method for surgical treatment of fractures of the condylar processes of the mandible with dislocation of the joint head is proposed. It consists in vertical osteotomy of the jaw branch, removal of fragments of the branch and joint head from the wound, intraosseous securing of fragments with a needle outside the operative wound, and fixation of the replant to the branch with 1 or 2 wire sutures. Sixteen patients were operated using this method, the outcomes were favorable.
