Open Reduction and Internal Fixation of Mandibular Condylar Base and Neck Fractures Using Strut Plates

Strut plates are appropriate for retromandibular transparotid, endoscopically assisted transoral, or submandibular approaches in the management of condylar neck or base fractures. Intraoperative handling and fitting accuracy of the strut plates are good. Good to slightly impaired functional outcome was observed in a subgroup of patients.
