Résumé
We describe a method of fixing transverse condylar head fractures using a combination of a plate and long screw fixation. In the technical procedure, a 4-hole mini-plate was placed on the lateral side of the condylar head and the condylar stump after the fracture reduction. The first hole was drilled in the lateral side of the condylar head, and one 9 mm mini-screw was inserted, a second hole drilled from the lateral side of the condyle stump through the medial pole of the condylar head and a 16 mm screw was inserted in an oblique direction from inferior to superior, then 2 more 9 mm mini-screws were inserted just below the long one to complete the procedure. This technique showed excellent results in both short and long-term stability of and healing of the fracture. Furthermore, it is more standardized, reproducible, and less technically demanding.
