Mandibular condyle fractures can result in short-term and long-term morbidity. As a weak area of the mandible, the condyle is vulnerable to injury by a direct impact or an indirect force. Current treatment recommendations aim to better match the severity of the fracture with the choice of closed or open approach. Long-term follow-up of patients provides the best opportunity to monitor the degree of functional restoration after treatment. There is a growing consensus regarding the use of standardized fracture classification methods and outcomes measures that will allow better assessment of treatment results and strengthen the quality of outcomes research.
下颌骨髁突骨折可导致短期和长期发病。作为下颌骨的薄弱区域，髁突容易受到直接冲击或间接力量的损伤。目前的治疗建议旨在更好地根据骨折的严重程度选择闭合或开放方法。对患者进行长期随访可提供最佳机会来监测治疗后功能恢复的程度。人们越来越一致地认为，使用标准化的骨折分类方法和结果测量指标将能够更好地评估治疗结果，并加强结果研究的质量。
