Mandibular condylar fractures in children and adolescents: 5-Year retrospective cohort study

International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology Jan 26, 2019

Zhou HH, et al. - From January 2011 to April 2016, researcher retrospectively evaluated 111 children (aged < 12 years) and 39 adolescents (aged 13-18 years) to estimate and compare the demographic aspects of mandibular condylar fractures between children and teenagers. Although more children vs adolescents were involved in falls from a height, they observed no correlation between the trauma etiology and type of condylar fracture in the two groups. Green-stick fractures and symphysis/para-symphysis fractures occurred more frequently among children. The incidence of condylar neck fractures was more prevalent among adolescents. They also noted a reduction in the frequency of dislocation among those who fractured other sites of the mandible, and reported that children with extracapsular fractures were more likely to sustain fractures of other mandibular sites—mainly, fracture of the symphysis/para-symphysis.
