Condylar fractures present a significant management problem for the surgeon dealing with maxillofacial trauma patients. The main problems in the treatment of the dislocated fractures of the condylar process are: dislocation of the condyle, the delicate operative technique and difficult reposition of the condyle. The authors report a case of fractured and dislocated condylar process of the fabricated mandible which was osteosynthesized by plate. The case is analyzed and the indications for this method are discussed.
