Intraoperative radiographic evaluation was done to confirm accurate reduction and fixation (using single 2 mm L plate and 42 x 6 mm screws) of the left subcondylar fracture using C-arm in two planes [Figures 3a, b and 4a, b].

The L plate was used because that helps in controlling both torsional and mediolateral displacement of fracture fragments [Figure 5].
