Multicentre retrospective study on plate osteosynthesis for non-condylar mandibular fractures in paediatric patients with deciduous, mixed, and permanent dentition: A World Oral Maxillofacial Trauma (WORMAT) project.

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.

Characteristics and Surgical Management of Bilateral Body Mandibular Fractures: A 23-Year Experience.

: Mandibular fractures are among the most common facial injuries. Bilateral fractures of the mandibular body region (BBMFs), however, are rare. The aim of this retrospective study was to analyze the characteristics, surgical management, and outcomes of BBMFs in a third-level trauma center in northern Italy.

Management of Pediatric Mandibular Condyle Fractures: A Literature Review.

This narrative review evaluates the literature on the management of mandibular condyle fractures in growing patients. It aims to illustrate some fundamental biological principles and to offer a series of considerations applicable to clinical practice. The discussion is based on 116 papers published in PubMed and two relevant textbooks.

Extended temporomandibular joint prostheses: a retrospective analysis of feasibility, outcomes, and complications.

Prostheses for extended total temporomandibular joint replacement (eTJR) include modifications to the traditional alloplastic fossa-condyle joint that extend to adjacent bone defects. The aim of this retrospective study was to assess the feasibility, postoperative complications, and functional and aesthetic outcomes after eTJR. Patients aged ≥18 years undergoing eTJR between 2013 and 2022 were included.
