When the parameters associated with anterior cruciate ligament injury were included in the analysis, there was an independent association between anterior cruciate ligament and contusion of lateral femoral
condyle, medial femoral
condyle, and lateral tibial plateau (Table 4).

(11) In our case, the etiological factor leading to the development of DA of the ICA was facial trauma presenting as mandibular
condyle and Le Fort I maxillary fractures, which is in line with published literature.
When the ACL is torn, anterior translation of the tibia leads to abnormal contact of the lateral femoral
condyle and lateral tibial plateau.
All the
condyle slices were saved as JPEG images via the NNT Viewer software program.
Plain X-rays may show a radiolucent lesion with a surrounding sclerotic halo, together with subtle flattening of the involved femoral
condyle. In advanced cases with significant subchondral collapse, secondary degenerative changes may be evident along with loss of joint space, sclerosis in the MT, and osteophyte formation.
11 - 15), that reaches about 50% of the distance from the occipital
condyle and the pes pterygoidei in C.
Table I shows the means found for the mandibular
condyle in the sagittal and coronal sections of rabbits with OA induced by MIA and papain.
Compression fractures of lateral tibial
condyle and their treatment.
Mandibular injuries are not uncommon and a number of factors influence the pattern of injury including age, gender, occupation, socio-economic status and direction and impact of force.1 Condylar fractures are the most common among mandibular fractures constituting up to 29-56%.2 Higher incidence of condylar fracture is due to different biomechanical factors such as variation in bone density and different anatomical structures which result in weakening of certain areas.3,4 Impact forces are indirectly transmitted and directed towards
condyle because of the joint between highly rigid ramus of mandible and less rigid
condyle.
The role of discal ligaments is to prevent divergence of the disc and
condyle head; hence, discal ligaments were modeled through fixing the distance between some nodes on the disc and
condyle head.
The aim of the study was to determine, in retrospective, which of the methods of bite registration gives a better guarantee to guide the mandibular
condyle into a centric position, in the mandibular fossa.
Computed tomography (CT) imaging showed vasogenic edema in the left temporal lobe secondary to intracranial displacement of the left mandibular
condyle through a 1.3 x 0.7 cm defect of the glenoid fossa of the temporal bone.
