Aim: This study was carried out to assess the versatility of the retromandibular approach in the management of subcondylar fractures. This study also assessed the morbidity of the retromandibular approach in the management of condylar fractures. Materials and Methods: Twenty patients treated with open reduction and internal fixation of their condylar fractures using this technique. Results: Retromandinular vein was encountered in one case.Branches of the facial nerve were encountered in five cases (25%). Temporary weakness of the facial nerve occurred in five patients.
The present study was undertaken to evaluate superficial soft tissue masses in 50 patients by gray-scale and color Doppler ultrasonography. In the study 30 males (60%) and 20 (40%) females were taken. Majority of cases (26%) were in 0-10 years age range. The swellings were mostly seen in the extremities (46%) and head and neck (22%). Out of 50 patients, there were 44 patients having benign masses and six patients with malignant masses. The benign masses were grouped as inflammatory, developmental, benign tumors and other masses.

Aim: To evaluate the data of the patients of idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia, treated with peripheral neurectomy,to evaluate the results obtained by this procedure and their recurrences. Materials and Methods: We studied 40 Patients reporting to our hospitals with persistent pain after conservative treatment or intolerance to carbamazepine therapy were selected for neurectomy. The branch of nerve involved was identified according to the site of pain and confirmed with diagnostic block with 2% Lignocaine. The follow-up period ranged from 1 to 4 years.
Aim: This study was carried out to assess the versatility of the submental intubation in the airway management of maxillofacial trauma patients. Materials and Methods: 20 patients with facial trauma were intubated with submental intubation for treatment of maxillofacial fractures at our center. Results: The patients ranged in age from 18 to 34 years. No complications due to submental intubation such as infection, hypertrophic scarring, bleeding, ranula formation, orocutaneous fistula, lingual nerve injury and hematoma were observed following submental intubation.
Aim: The aim of the study was morphometricevaluation of pterygoidhamulus using CBCT. Material and Methods: CBCT images of 40males and 40females with age >20years were evaluated.The length, width, inclinationandincidence of shape of PH was evaluatedwith respect to side and gender.Independent t-test was used for statistical analysis.
Question: Is the Muscle Energy Technique being effective in pain and lower limb functional activity in subjects having planter fasciitis? Design: Randomized control trial. Participants: 30 subjects with the clinical diagnosis of chronic plantar fasciitis were randomly allocated by coin method into two study groups. Intervention: Group A (control) 15 patients was given therapeutic ultrasound, foot intrinsic muscles strengthening exercises, plantar fascia stretching exercises and Group B(experimental) 15 patients was given conventional treatment as group an added MET for 10 consecutive days.
