The management of fractures of the mandibular condyle continues to be controversial. This is in part attributable to a misinterpretation of the literature from decades prior, a lack of uniformity of classification of the various anatomical components of the mandibular condyle, and a perceived potential to cause harm through the open approach based in part on the surgeon's lack of a critical examination of the literature. This review explores the key historical articles that deal with the management of mandibular condyle fractures, and those modern-day contributions that represent the state of the art. The authors' intention was to provide the reader with an objective summary of the management of this form of injury, to place its management into a modern-day perspective, and perhaps to minimize the perception of controversy.
下颌髁突骨折的治疗一直存在争议。部分原因在于对几十年前文献的错误解读、下颌髁突各解剖结构分类缺乏一致性，以及部分基于外科医生对文献缺乏批判性审视而认为开放手术可能造成伤害。本综述探讨了处理下颌髁突骨折的关键历史文献以及代表当前技术水平的现代研究成果。作者的目的是为读者提供这种损伤治疗的客观总结，将其治疗置于现代视角，或许还能尽量减少争议感。
