摘要:
Objective: This study is to explore the clinical effect of crus of
helix incision through the posterior parotid gland approach in
the treatment of Mid-or High-Level mandibular condylar
fractures.
Methods: From September 2020 to June 2023, we performed
incision reduction internal fixation of 23 patients with mid-level
or high-level fractures of the mandibular condylar through the
approach of the posterior parotid gland, and observed the effect
of the operation.
Results: After a follow-up period of 6 to 12 months, all patients
showed no signs of postoperative facial paralysis or salivary
gland fistula. In addition, satisfactory scars were observed in the
operation area, and the occlusion function had recovered well.
Conclusion: The approach of using a crus of helix incision
through the posterior parotid gland proved to be an effective
method for treating mid-level or high-level fractures of the
condylar fractures. This technique offers several advantages,
including adequate exposure, minimal facial nerve injury, ease
of incision and reduction, inconspicuous scarring, and a more
concealed incision.
