Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • the number of participants with facial nerve injury

    to explore whether the minor parotid anterior approach could prevent facial nerve injury.

    from 3 months to 1 year after surgery

Study Arms (2)

the minor approach group

EXPERIMENTAL

Thirty-six patients (the minor parotid anterior approach group) were treated with minor parotid anterior approach

Procedure: the minor approach

control group

OTHER

24 patients (control group) were treated with the retromandibular approach

Procedure: the minor approach

Interventions

Thirty-six patients (the minor approach group) were treated with minor parotid anterior approach

Also known as: the minor parotid anterior approach
control groupthe minor approach group

Eligibility Criteria

Age5 Years - 56 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17), Adult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

  • (1)clinical and imaging diagnosis of medial or low condylar fractures
  • (2)bone fragments that were obviously dislocated, that affected patients appearance and function, requiring surgical intervention
  • (3)no previous surgical treatment

You may not qualify if:

  • (1)medial or low condylar fractures without obvious displacement
  • (2)patients who had previously undergone unsuccessful surgery
  • (3)the surgical site had traumatic scar, so the approach could be carried out on the original incision
