Abstract summary 

The diagnosis and management of intracapsular condylar fractures (ICFs) are crucial, and if left untreated, they can cause facial asymmetry, limited mouth opening, and even temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis, which may affect the physical function and mental health of patients. Various procedures have been described for the ICFs, but there is no consensus on the therapeutic methods. This study aimed to compare the clinical efficacy of conservative and surgical management of ICFs.
