Simple Way of Facilitating Reduction the Fragment for Fractures With Condyle.

To describe a technique that uses a fixation screw with a steel wire ring which is implanted into the mandibular to facilitate the condylar fracture reduction. This technique has been used on 382 patients over the last 8 years from the Department of Oral and Cranio-Maxillofacial Science of Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, China. No complication has been encountered. Applying this approach, the displaced proximal condylar fragment can be found quickly, and then the fragment can be effectively prevented from being broken again in the reduction process.
