ABSTRACT
Sagittal or vertical fractures of the mandibular condyle and chip fractures of the medial part of the condylar head are very rare entities and their identification is difficult with conventional radiographs. We report a case of a unilateral bifid mandibular condyle which resulted following a sagittal condylar fracture. This was associated with a chip fracture of the medial part of the condylar head on the contralateral side. These types of condylar fracture do not require any surgical treatment, but early mobilization is indicated.
