Mandibular Condyle Fractures: Epidemiological, Clinical and Therapeutic Aspects at the National Center of Odonto-Stomatology Professor Hamady Traore in Bamako
Introduction: Fractures of the mandibular condyle are defined as a break in the condylar process of the mandible. They can be unilateral or bilateral, intra-articular or extra-articular. The objective of this study was to investigate the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of mandibular condyle fractures in our setting. Methods: This was a cross-sectional, descriptive study conducted from January 2022 to May 2023, focusing on cases of mandibular condyle fractures at the CHU-CNOS Pr Hamady TRAORE in Bamako. Results: Of 87,741 patients seen over 17 months, 21 cases of mandibular condyle fractures were recorded, representing an incidence of 1.23 cases per month. Males were the most represented sex (76.20%). The 15 - 29 age group was the most represented (42.85%). Farmers accounted for 33.33% of cases. A low subcondylar fracture was present in 80.95% of cases. The modified Risdon approach was used in 47.36% of cases. Osteosynthesis using a miniplate was performed in 42.10%. The outcome was favorable in 78.96% of cases. Conclusion: Fractures of the mandibular condyle represent a significant entity in maxillofacial traumatology. Road traffic accidents are the leading cause.
