Condylar Fracture Classifications , What is Condylar Fracture: Fracture of the mandible in the Condylar region which can be due to Direct or indirect contact which can be Unilateral or Bilateral Fracture. Classifications of Condylar Fractures: 1. Unilateral and Bilateral Condylar Fracture 2. Rowe and Killey’s Classification: Simple fractures of Condyle Compound fractures of Condyle Comminuted fracture associated with Zygomatic arch fractures 3. Classification based on Relationship of Condylar Fragment to Mandible: Undisplaced Deviated Displaced with Medial Overlap of condylar fragment Displaced with lateral overlap of the condylar fragment Anteroposterior overlap is possible No contact between the fragments 4. Classification based on Relationship of Condylar Head to Fossa: No Displacement with normal joint space Displacement is seen with increase in Joint Space 5. Thoma Classification based on direction of displacement of Condyle: No Displacement of Condyle: Greenstick fracture Intracapsular Extracapsular Displacement of Condyle is seen: Lateral Medial Forward Backward Dislocation in Lateral and Medial Direction: Intracapsular Complete fracture dislocation Complete dislodgement of the condyle Dislocation of the fractured part of the head of the condyle Dislocation in Forward Direction: Anteriorly from the articular eminence Posteriorly from the articular eminence With dislocation and displacement of the meniscus With comminution Old fracture with deformities 6. Subcondylar Fractures: Without displacement of fragment With displacement of fragment 7. Spiessel and Schroll Classification: Nondisplaced fracture Low Neck fracture with Displacement High Neck fracture with displacement Low Neck fracture with dislocation High Neck Fracture with dislocation Head Fracture , http://bit.ly/ZiuqOO
