Summary

Background: Condylar fracture is one of mandibular fracture which accounts for 20-35%. It is the most controversial fractures regarding diagnosis and management. For several years, surgeons preferred closed reduction over open reduction to avoid surgical complications.

Closed reduction may have late complications, the preference started to change towards open treatment. A Transmasseteric Anteroparotid (TMAP) approach for open treatment of condylar fractures overcomes the problems of facial nerve injury of other approaches. Aim: Comparing the Transmasseteric Antroparotid approach(TMAP) to the Transparotid (TP) approach in management of subcondylar fractures regarding the facial nerve affection, parotid fistula, reduction angulation, pain, duration of the surgery, occlusion and patient satisfaction with the scar. Materials and Methods: Twenty patients with subcondylar fracture will be divided randomly into two equal groups. Group1(study group): Transmasseteric Antroparotid approach. Group2 (control group): Retromandibular Transparotid approach. Patients will be followed up for 3 months to assess facial nerve injury, pain, occlusion and patient's scar satisfaction . Results: data will be collected, tabulated and statistically analysed.
