Synopsis

The management of subcondylar fractures remains a source of great debate. Despite the various levels of evidence supporting different treatment strategies, defining indications and outcome measures, it is still difficult to reach a consensus. This symposium will provide the audience with a review and update on the topic. Evidence to support the best practices in the management of subcondylar fractures will be discussed.

Learning Objectives
  1. Describe the indications and management of subcondylar and mandibular fractures in the pediatric population;
  2. List the indications and outcome measures for the management of subcondylar fractures; and
  3. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of open versus closed treatment of subcondylar fractures.
