Minimal Access Retromandibular Approach to Fractures of Vertical Segment of the Mandible: A Versatile Technique

Abstract

Introduction Fractures of the condylar region of the mandible, although fairly common, also generate the most debate regarding management—both closed and open treatment options have been recommended and shown to yield good results. We present our experience with a minimal access retromandibular approach to fractures of the vertical mandible.
