A Rhombic Plate for transoral endoscopically-assisted osteosynthesis of fractures of the condylar neck

Clinical experience and results with a Rhombic Plate for transoral endoscopically-assisted osteosynthesis of fractures of the condylar neck: The intraoral approach is favoured by many patients and surgeons for the treatment of fractures of the condylar neck, but the limited space offered by this approach can make positioning and fixation of the osteosynthesis plate difficult. A rhombic-shaped plate was designed specifically for use with the intraoral approach, and introduced into our clinical practice in 2012. We present the clinical and functional results in 81 patients with 98 fractures of the condylar neck who we have treated with this technique.
