In this paper, the authors describe their surgical procedures, the clinical management, and radiological evaluation of condylar neck fractures. The condylar neck is the site of approximately two-thirds of all mandibular fractures. These are treated either conservatively or by open reduction. Indications for open reduction are discussed. Approximately 5-30% of all condylar neck fractures are treated surgically, depending on the circumstances of each case. The role of open reduction is realignment of segments, early function and decreased post-operative complaints. It has been our experience that surgical treatment of selected condylar neck fractures is successful.
