Treatment of fractures of the condyle requires:
a. Immobilization of the mandible for 6-8 weeks
b. Open reduction and pinning
c. Condylectomy later, if the fracture is intracapsular
d. Early mobilization of the mandible to avoid TMJ dysfunction or ankylosis
e. Early open procedures when the condyle is displaced into the infratemporal fossa.
