Mandibular condylar fractures are common, and their most frequent causes are traffic accidents, violence, slip-down, fall-down, and sports. Mandibular condylar fractures are accompanied by dental trauma or concomitant fractures on the contralateral side. Clinically, complications such as malocclu-sion, anterior open bite, residual pain, mouth opening limitation (MOL), pathological changes in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), osteonecrosis, facial asymmetry, and ankylosis may occur due to condylar fractures, and appropriate treatment is required to avoid these complications 1,2 .Mandibular condylar fractures can be treated using open reduction (OR) or closed reduction (CR). During OR, threedimensional stability of the mandible can be obtained through proper reduction of the fracture fragment, action of the lateral pterygoid muscle, a relatively fast recovery for a normal diet, and a short treatment period; however, there is the potential for damage to the facial nerve, blood vessels, and joint capsules or infection with this approach. Conversely, CR carries the advantages of being non-invasive and less likely to damage anatomical structures but has its own disadvantages, such as malocclusion, MOL, facial asymmetry, chronic pain,
