摘要：
Purpose: Fractures of the condyle can be managed by open or by closed reduction. This study was designed to mention the complications of the bio-resorbable material we had experienced while using them in the management of condylar fractures. Methods: Fifteen (11 men and four women) patients with subcondylar fractures were included in the study. Resorbable poly-l-lactide plates and screws were used for the fracture fixation. Patients were followed up clinically and radiographically for a period of 2 years. Results: Seven patients had a satisfactory reduction following the placement of bio-resorbable plates. Three patients had developed a swelling in the pre-auricular region, extending till the angle. Two patients had a screw breakage whereby leading to malunion and three other patients had bone resorption, at the fractured site that was appreciated radiographically. Conclusion: Inspite of the advantages of these materials, certain complications has been experienced in our study with regard to the resorption and degradation of the material which has been mentioned and explained in our article. © 2011, Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons of India.
