Hi
My dear son had a condylar fracture on left side when fell down on his chin.
We had a CT Scan which showed a fracture, so we have consulted a snr.doctor who recommended not to go for any surgery but will heal with in 2-3 weeks by itself and recommended not move the jaw and stay on liquid diet.
We are fully not happy as this may result in future problems to my dear son. Please find below URL for images of CT scan as I was unable to upload the images. Please advice if we require to undergo any surgery or braces and let us know how SERIOUS IS THIS FRACTURE.
