- The study compares open surgical vs. nonsurgical treatments for patients with bilateral condylar fractures, analyzing data from 55 of 67 treated patients.
- In the nonsurgical group, 62% of patients achieved normal mouth opening, with a higher functional success rate in young adults compared to older patients, indicating age-related differences in treatment outcomes.
- Both treatment methods showed no significant difference overall, but rigid fixation may offer better results for young patients with severe fracture patterns.
