In this article the use of a rigid external fixation system is proposed for the early treatment of condylar fractures. This method offers the advantage of not damaging the articular structures during reduction and allows early mobilization for a rapid recovery. In our Centre 28 patients have been treated with the rigid external fixation system, with good functional results. Of these 15 men and 13 women, 22 had a monocondylar fracture and 6 had a bicondylar fracture. In all the cases there was complete recovery of the occlusal stituation and of the mouth opening; no patient surgically treated with this method has ever presented problems of a local or general nature. The purpose of this report was to evaluate the use of external fixation for the treatment of extracapsular condylar fractures with luxation of the fragment out of the glenoid cavity.
