Extracorporeal plating of high-level condyle fracture through retromandibular approach – A technical note

The complex anatomy of the mandibular condyle makes its fracture management challenging and debatable. Apart from this, the approaches to condyle are also challenging as most of them depend on the surgical expertise. The retromandibular approach which was initially proposed for the vertical sub cond...
