A fracture of the mandibular condyle is a common fracture of the mandible. After the diagnosis has been made, there are various treatment options: wait and see, conservative or surgical. Which of these treatment options is best depends on several different factors and is often the subject of debate. A common complication of a fracture of the mandibular condyle is malocclusion. Malocclusion can cause problems - even in the long term - for which the patient often requires secondary treatment.
