Mandibular fractures are common maxillofacial injuries among children and adolescents, but treatment remains controversial. The aim of this study was to analyse the methods and outcomes of open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) for non-condylar mandibular fractures in paediatric patients among 14 maxillofacial centres. Patients ≤16 years of age undergoing ORIF for non-condylar mandibular fractures between 2011 and 2022 were included.

Article Synopsis
  • Pediatric mandibular condyle fractures can lead to serious issues like pain and facial deformities if not treated correctly, yet there’s no agreed-upon treatment method.
  • A study analyzed how these fractures are managed in children aged 0 to 16 across 14 maxillofacial departments worldwide, examining treatment approaches over an 11-year period.
  • The research found that treatment methods varied significantly among departments, with expectant management, closed treatment, and open reduction being utilized, all showing effectiveness with low complication rates.
