First seen Jan 19, 2026 · Last updated May 09, 2026 · Updated 15 times
Summary
This study looked at the best way to treat a rare type of broken jaw joint (condylar head fracture). It compared surgery to fix the bone with non-surgical care like advice and exercises. The goal was to see which method helps patients chew and move their jaw better. Only 14 people took part, so the results are very limited.
