Summary
We present the definitions of various types of fracture of the condylar process, which
have been adopted for the Strasbourg Osteosynthesis Research Group (SORG), in their
Pan-European prospective randomised controlled trial into the management of such fractures.
We think that this will assist people in their description of the various types of
fracture of the condylar process.
