Retrospective studies
The majority of the studies assessed were retrospective (11/16 studies, 69%), and included a heterogeneous series of mandibular condyle fractures and treatment modalities. The clinical outcome measurements in these studies were diverse, the study methods were often poorly described, and the follow-up periods were variable. The study populations, types of condyle fractures included, and periods of follow-up of these studies are shown in Table 3.
