ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To systematically evaluate the surgical and non-surgical treatment of condylar fracture using Meta-analysis system.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The key words: mandible, condyle, fracture and treatment/therapy were adopted to search for the objective articles from following Data-base: Medline, Embase, CCTR and CNKI. The available data were statistically dealt with by software package (RevMan 4.1).</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>In 172 associated articles, only 10 (5.8%) fulfilled the entrance criteria, involving 711 cases. A total of 307 patients underwent surgical treatment due to severely displacement or dislocation of fragment, 239 of the m (78.0%) being subcondylar fracture. A total of 404 patients received non-surgical management, 278 of them (68.7%) being lower level fracture without significant displacement.
