BACKGROUND: To determine the prognosis of @entity174 of the mandibular condyle after closed treatment. METHODS: @entity1 (n = 144) with a @entity174 of the mandibular condyle, all treated closed, were included in the study. Fracture types and position of the @entity174 parts were determined on radiographs. Follow-up was after 12 months in which the average @entity158 , experienced during the last week (visual analog scale, 100 mm), and mandibular functioning were assessed (mandibular function impairment questionnaire (MFIQ)). RESULTS: Data of 116 (81%) @entity1 , 41 @entity1 (35%) and 75 @entity1 (65%), were available for analysis. @entity174 were most common (52%). @entity174 were present in 28% of the @entity1 . @entity158 (visual analog scale score >0) was found in 9% of the @entity1 . Impaired mandibular function was found in 40% (MFIQ >0) and 24% (MFIQ > or =4) of the @entity1 . The most important risk factor for @entity158 was being a @entity1 . The most important risk factors for function impairment were > or =25 years of age and gross displacement of the @entity174 parts. CONCLUSION: The overall prognosis of mandibular function and @entity158 after closed treatment of @entity174 is good. The most important risk factor for @entity158 persisting for 1 year after closed treatment of a condylar @entity174 is being a @entity1 . The most important risk factors for function impairment are an age of > or =25 years and gross displacement of the @entity174 parts.
