Abstract

Condylar fractures are the most common fractures of the mandible, and treatment of mandibular condylar fractures by maxillofacial surgeons is a very important procedure. However, the surgical approaches have anatomical limitations. Therefore, it is difficult to evaluate the reduction achieved in open reduction and internal fixation because of the uncertainty in securing a sufficient operative field. As a potential solution, the authors evaluated the benefits of intraoperative cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) with high image quality performed in a hybrid operating room. Intraoperative CBCT is easy to perform in a hybrid operating room, and it is possible to quickly evaluate high-quality CT images, including 3D images. Because the state of reduction of mandibular condylar fractures also affects the prognosis of treatment, more precise reduction and fixation should improve prognoses. The use of CBCT in a hybrid operating room also avoids re-operation, and patients benefit from minimum invasive surgery. Intraoperative CBCT is a very useful strategy for evaluation of mandibular condylar fracture surgical treatment.
