Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: i. Patients above 12 years of age. ii. Patients with unilateral condylar neck and sub-condylar fractures of jaw. iii. Patients with bilateral condylar fracture but being surgically treated only on one side.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: i. Fractures of the condylar head ii. Bilateral condylar fractures being surgically reduced on both sides iii. History of operations in the retromandibular region iv.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Primary objective of assessing the facial nerve function will be done both clinically and using a standard procedure. T pre-framed scales like that of House- Brackmann. Procedural assessment is planned to be done by electrophysiological measures like Electromyography (EMGTimepoint: Data will be collected using EMG at week 1, week 4, week 12 if feasible—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
i. Extent of exposure will be reported based on the surgical exposure of the fractured site achieved and the anatomic landmarks of the extent of the exposure. Whether it was adequate or did the surgeon face any particular difficulty with the approach. Linear measurements of the extent of exposure shall be measured on the intraoperative photographs. ii. Operating time- a stopwatch will be used to measure the time from making an incision to full exposure of the fracture site. Timepoint: intra- operatively—
