Twenty-five to forty percent of mandibular fractures involve the condyle. In the literature, there exists no consensus \u201cgold standard\u201d treatment for mandibular condylar fractures, and there is a continuing debate on whether condylar fractures should undergo closed or open reduction.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Method:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Twenty patients who had undergone open reduction and closed reduction treatment were included in the study. Clinically maximal interincisal opening, laterotrusive and protrusive movements, pain on mouth opening, malocclusion, chin deviation on mouth opening, facial nerve palsy, hematoma, infected implant, and bite force were evaluated after a minimum of 3 months postoperatively. Also, a postoperative CT is done to evaluate the anatomical position of fragment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>On evaluation of clinical parameters, both groups had comparable results.
