Sagittal or vertical fractures of the mandibular condyle and chip fractures of the medial part of the condylar head are very rare entities and their identification is difficult with conventional radiographs. We report a case of a unilateral bifid mandibular condyle which resulted following a sagittal condylar fracture. This was associated with a chip fracture of the medial part of the condylar head on the contralateral side. These types of condylar fracture do not require any surgical treatment, but early mobilization is indicated.
下颌骨髁突矢状或垂直骨折以及髁突头部内侧部分的碎片骨折是非常罕见的情况，用传统X线片很难识别。我们报告一例单侧下颌骨髁突裂，它是由髁突矢状骨折导致的。这与对侧髁突头部内侧部分的碎片骨折有关。这类髁突骨折不需要任何手术治疗，但需要早期活动。
