“…Condylar fractures account for 18-45% of all mandibular fractures and are very common fractures of the mandible. [ 4 5 ] ORIF in condylar fracture is considered as the gold standard. [ 5 ] It is difficult to estimate the reduction after ORIF because of the ambiguity in securing a satisfactory operative field.…”

The Rationale: Condyle fractures are a common type of mandibular fracture that can result in malocclusion. Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) in condylar fracture is considered as the most acceptable treatment modality. Patient Concerns: The patient complained of pain and difficulty in the jaw while chewing. Diagnosis: An orthopantomogram and reverse Towne’s view can lead to diagnosis of the condylar fracture. Treatment: Open reduction and internal fixation using intraoperative real-time visualisation of subcondylar fracture reduction utilising the C-arm fluoroscopic approach were used to allow for adequate anatomical repositioning and fast restoration of function to meet the patient’s concerns. Outcomes: We were able to achieve correct reduction of the fracture fragments with restoration of function and occlusion. Take-away Lessons: When this procedure is used to treat condylar fractures, surgeons can get a better view of the fracture segments while eliminating the need for postoperative intermaxillary fixation and also reduces the complications from inappropriate reduction and fixation.

“…Further, it cannot be used in pregnant women and in those with cervical spine injuries. Again, fluoroscan assisted closed reduction using C-arm has the same problem of high exposure to radiation [5] for the use of intra-operatively. Although, the use of USG in dentistry has been increasingly developed and widely studied in recent years and its role in maxillofacial trauma surgery is less recognized [6].…”

Zygomatic arch fractures are the most common facial fractures or second in frequency after the nasal fractures. The high incidence of zygomatic fractures probably relates to its prominent position in the facial skeleton; hence, it is frequently exposed to fractures. This case report presents an left‐sided isolated zygomatic arch fracture after subjected to routine investigations and radiographs like submentovertex and CT scans. The patient was operated under general anesthesia for the reduction of zygomatic arch by Gille's temporal approach with the use of Ultrasound intra‐operatively. Recommendation for the use of ultrasonography in the identification of zygomatic arch fractures intra‐operatively operatively.

C-arm as intraoperative control in reduction of isolated zygomatic arch fractures: a randomized clinical trial

Abstract: Despite the fact that the results are not statistically significant (p = 0.5), the authors recommend undertaking an intraoperative imaging analysis in areas where we are not certain of the reduction.
