Outcomes of functional treatment of condylar mandibular fractures with an articular impact: a retrospective study of 108 children.

Introduction: The treatment of fractures of the mandibular condylar process remains controversial, especially in children. The aim of this study was to assess the long-term clinical and radiographic outcomes of functional treatments for mandibular condylar fractures with an articular impact.

Materials And Methods: Young patients (< 15 years of age) presenting with either a unilateral or a bilateral mandibular fracture of the condylar process were included in this retrospective study.

The arterial supply of the coracoid process.

Objective: The aim of this study was to describe the arterial supply of the coracoid process and to define its possible involvement in complications of Latarjet procedure.

Method: Five shoulder dissections were performed to highlight the extraosseous blood supply of the coracoid process. Postmortem arteriographies of the upper limb were performed.
