Summary

This study compares two surgical techniques for fixing a broken lower jaw joint (subcondylar fracture). Twenty patients will be randomly assigned to receive either the transmasseteric anteroparotid (TMAP) approach or the retromandibular transparotid (TP) approach. The goal is to see which method causes fewer facial nerve injuries, less pain, and better scar satisfaction over a 3-month follow-up.

What this could lead to

If one approach proves safer, it could become the preferred method for fixing this type of jaw fracture, reducing nerve damage and improving recovery.

What could go wrong

This is a very small trial (20 patients) comparing two surgical techniques. Results may not apply to all patients, and both procedures carry risks like nerve injury or infection.
