Instruments for Treating Condylar Process Fractures according to Eckelt and Rasse

The surgical treatment of mandibular condyle process fractures has seen significant advances in the past 20 years, thanks to important new contributions in the form of osteosynthesis techniques guaranteeing functional stability. Depending on fracture localization special surgical techniques have been developed that differ both in terms of joint access and osteosynthesis technique used. Given a surgical indication, the surgeon therefore can select from a whole range of different techniques, each one requiring a special set of instruments for their safe application. The selection of instruments presented here is intended to provide the surgeon with just the right instruments for the surgical techniques used.
