Abstract:Endoscopic-assisted technique could make surgery more minimally invasive,and has been applied in the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery in recent years. In con-dylar fractures,the endoscope may be used to restore preinju-ry condylar height and angulation,avoiding the feared risks of facial nerve injury and visible scarring. When used selective-ly,endoscope-assisted open reduction and internal fixation would be one of the best choices for the management of condy-lar fracture.
