Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the patterns and risk factors of condylar fracture and association of condylar fracture with related mandibular fractures.
Material and Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out from July 2015 to June 2017. A total of 90 patients through convenience sampling technique were included in this study. The exclusion criteria of this study were malunion, maltreated and pathological fractures. Patients were examined clinically, and data were collected in well-documented proforma. Orthopantomogram was done in all patients who met the inclusion criteria. CT scan was carried out if required. Data were analyzed using SPSS 22.0.
Results:The predominant age group involved was 11-20 years. Male to female ratio was 1.8:1. The most frequent risk factor resulting in condylar fracture was road traffic accident n=45 (50.2%) followed by fall n=27 (30.2%). The most common fracture was sub-condylar n=39 (43.3%), followed by condylar head n=33 (36.7%). Condylar fractures were mostly associated with parasymphysis fracture (15.6%). Statistically, no significant association was found between condylar fractures with a concomitant mandibular fracture.
Conclusion:The most common risk factor for condylar fracture was road traffic accident, and sub-condylar fracture is the predominant pattern of condylar fracture.
