Abstract
The morbidity following conservative management of fracture dislocations of the mandibular condyle is considered, and the theoretical advantages of open reduction discussed. The various methods described in the past are reviewed and a new technique is described whereby a Kirschner wire is drilled into the condylar fragment and then inlaid into the ramus. Advantages over previous methods include easy manipulation of the fragment and lack of danger to the facial nerve.
