A New Surgical Instrument in Treatment of Conlylar Fracture: Condylar Reductor

July 29, 2016 updated by: Junhui Cui
In condylar fracture surgery, reduction is the most difficult step and the key factor which determined the postoperative outcome. Therefore, the aim of this study is to develop a new instrument, which the investigators call condylar redactor, to assist the surgeon to reduct the condylar segments effectively.
