Official Title: A Modified Preauricular Approach to Treat Diacapitular Condylar Fractures: The Supratemporalis Approach
Brief Summary: A new surgical approach, denoted as the supratemporalis approach, was designed to treat diacapitular condylar fractures of the mandibular condyle.This approach prevented facial nerve injury and did not increase the frequency of other complications. Therefore, the investigators suggest this surgical procedure as a routine and safe approach to diacapitular condylar fractures, which can also be applied to temporomandibular joint（TMJ）and to the zygomatic arch.
