SSOD47 - Contemporary Management of Condylar Trauma: A Chicago-Style Deep Dive

On-demand
CE: 1.0 CDE/CME
On-demand<br><i>On-demand session available beginning Sept. 28.</i>
Based on their combined experience treating maxillofacial trauma patients in downtown Chicago, the speakers will present a comprehensive review of the contemporary evaluation and management of mandibular condylar trauma. Based on the best available evidence, the session will explore indications for open and closed treatment of fractures. Participants will learn about effective classification systems, surgical exposure techniques and principles of fixation. Additionally, the session will propose treatment algorithms to guide surgical management of condylar process fractures.

Learning Objectives:

At the conclusion of this presentation, participants should be able to:
  1. Determine which condylar process fractures are indicated for open repair and which fractures can be treated in a closed fashion.
  2. Describe common surgical techniques used in the exposure of condylar process fractures.
  3. Identify the most appropriate surgical access based on the location and characteristics of the fracture.
