Introduction The approaches to mandibular condyle fractures are described in the literature in an abbreviated manner. Their complications, especially facial nerve damage, have limited the surgical indication. Presentation of case Through this clinical case, we reported the way and the interest of using a twisted steel wire to increase the visibility of the fracture site and facilitate the reduction of even the highest localized fractures. Discussion The high subangulomandibular approach remains a safe approach, with less risk of facial nerve injury if the planes are respected and the facial nerve is avoided if encountered. Nevertheless, this approach is indicated in low condylar and some neck fractures. Conclusion Given the benefits of this approach compared to other techniques, we recommend its use.
