Introduction: Condylar fractures constitute about 18% to 50% of all the mandibular fractures (1, 2). Despite the vast research on this topic, many controversies exist around the management of condylar fractures. There are several approaches that can be employed for managing condylar fractures, such as submandibular, retromandibular, preauricular, intraoral, and periangular. The current study was conducted with the objective of updating the available literature and comparing the complications associated with the retromandibular and periangular approaches used for treating patients with condylar fractures.
