Methods: Sixty patients who were treated for condylar fractures of the mandible at the Maxil-lofacial Surgery Department in Katowice were qualified for the analysis of the range of movements of the mandibular heads using the Cadiax device. From the group of patients who suffered fractures of the mandible, including condylar processes, patients were finally qualified for the measurement of the articular path of the injured and healthy joint according to strict criteria. Results: The condylar examination was performed in 20 patients who had conservative condylar fracture treatment and 40 patients who underwent various surgeries in the course of a single condylar fracture. The control group consisted of 20 patients whose mean values for the articular pathway measured for both sides were 12.73 and 12.69 and fell within the standard developed for healthy joints tested with the Cadiax device. Conclusions: We have achieved an almost ideal treatment for condylar fractures. We are also beginning to notice the need for rehabilitation of patients after this type of surgery.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm13133706","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,25]],"date-time":"2024-06-25T12:46:56Z","timestamp":1719319616000},"page":"3706","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Influence of Method of Treatment of Mandibular Condylar Fractures on Range of Articular Path Measured by Cadiax Device"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Damian","family":"Niedzielski","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery, Faculty of Medical Sciences, Medical University of Silesia, 40-027 Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Iwona","family":"Niedzielska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery, Faculty of Medical Sciences, Medical University of Silesia, 40-027 Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5720-6419","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daria","family":"Wzi\u0105tek-Kuczmik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery, Faculty of Medical Sciences, Medical University of Silesia, 40-027 Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maciej","family":"Kami\u0144ski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery, Faculty of Medical Sciences, Medical University of Silesia, 40-027 Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stefan","family":"Baron","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Temporomandibular Disorders, Medical University of Silesia in Katowice; Traugutta sq. 2, 41-800 Zabrze, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5248-3505","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"S\u0142awomir","family":"Grzegorczyn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biophysics, Faculty of Medical Sciences in Zabrze, Medical University of Silesia, 19 H.
