@entity174 are common presentations to hospitals across the globe and remain the most important cause of @entity1348 ( @entity1348 ) @entity3947 . This study aimed to analyze cases of mandibular condylar @entity174 complicated by @entity1348 after treatment. A 16-year retrospective analysis was performed at the dental and maxillofacial surgery clinic of the study institution; @entity1 data were collected from the hospital records and entered into a pro-forma questionnaire. It was found that 56/3596 (1.6%) @entity174 resulted in @entity1348 . The age of @entity1 with @entity3947 ranged from 12 to 47 years. The age (P=0.03) and gender (P=0.01) distributions were significant, with most cases of @entity3947 occurring in those aged 11-30 years (n=43/56, 76.8%). @entity174 complicated by @entity3947 were intracapsular (n=22/56, 39.3%) and extracapsular (n=34/56, 60.7%). @entity3947 increased significantly with the increase in time lag between injury and @entity174 treatment (P=0.001). @entity3947 was associated with concomitant mandibular (85.7%) and middle third (66.1%) @entity174 . Treatment methods were not significantly related to @entity3947 (P=0.32). All cases of @entity3947 were unilateral, and complete (n=36, 64.3%) and incomplete @entity3947 (n=20, 35.7%) were diagnosed clinically. The incorporation of computed tomography scans and rigid internal fixation in the management of condylar @entity174 will reduce @entity3947 .
