Though the incidence of maxillofacial injuries in children is lower compared to their adult counterparts, nasal bone and mandibular fractures are among the most commonly encountered. Management and treatment of mandibular fractures, in particular condylar, in this population is challenging due to anatomical and functional considerations, and conservative management remains the treatment of choice. This case report highlights an innovative technique of conservative management using orthodontic brackets and a myofunctional appliance in a patient who sustained a condylar fracture after falling from his bicycle.

Department of Stomatology, Affiliated Hospital of Yanbian University(Yanbian Hospital), Yanji, Jilin, 133000, China.
Objective: To investigate the effect of different microplate spacing on the relative displacement of the fractured mandibular ramus during mastication after using double microplates for fixation, using finite element analysis. This study aims to provide a theoretical basis for clinical design of the distance between two microplates.
Methods: Finite element models of the mandible, teeth, periodontal membrane, and microplates (Johnson & Johnson, thickness 1 mm) were established.
Postoperative Evaluation of Nerve Function Following Coronal Incisions for Facial Fractures: A Clinical Study.
J Contemp Dent Pract
December 2024
Department of Prosthodontics, Government College of Dentistry, Indore, Madhya Pradesh, India.
Aim: The present study aimed to evaluate the postoperative nerve function following coronal incisions for facial fractures.
Materials And Methods: The present study included 30 patients with craniomaxillofacial trauma treated using the bi-temporal/coronal or hemicoronal approach. A preoperative computed tomography (CT) scan of the face with 3D reconstruction was done for all the patients to determine the exact extent of the fractures.
Ophthalmology Examinations in Children With Skull Fractures and Underlying Focal Hemorrhage.

Department of Radiology, Division of General Pediatrics, Clinical Futures, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
Objectives: To assess the frequency and yield of retinal examination in children below 2 years old undergoing abuse evaluations in the setting of skull fracture(s) and small underlying intracranial hemorrhage.
Methods: This cross-sectional study used CAPNET, a multicenter child physical abuse network, to identify children below 2 years with a skull fracture(s) and intracranial injury limited to an underlying small focal intracranial hemorrhage undergoing subspeciality child abuse evaluations. Our outcomes of interest were (1) the performance of a retinal examination, (2) the identification of retinal hemorrhages, and (3) associations of clinical factors and CAPNET site with the performance of retinal examinations.
Burden and trends of facial fractures in China and the United States based on GBD 2021 analysis.

Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, The Affiliated Huaian No. 1 People's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, Huaian, 223300, Jiangsu Province, China.
Facial fractures significantly impair functions related to respiration, vision, and speech, while also posing long-term cosmetic and psychological challenges. Regional disparities in the burden of facial fractures reflect variations in risk factors, healthcare accessibility, and preventive measures. This study investigates recent causes, trends, and the burden of facial fractures in China and the United States.
