Abstract
The present study showed that a properly followed isolated functional treatment provided similar clinical results to ORIF for mandibular condylar fractures with articular impact. Surgical treatment should be preferred when the loss of height of the ramus is severe to restore the ramus height since adult condylar remodeling is less efficient than in children.
