Abstract

Of all facial fractures in children, condylar fractures have the greatest propensity to produce a growth disturbance. This risk appears to be greatest when the injury is during the first 3 years of during adolescence. Yet, the ability of a child to undergo compensatory growth that decrease the effects of the injury is also the greatest. Fracture dislocation of the condyle in the preadolescent often results in excellent remodeling and function. Because of this factor and the higher risRs of avascular necrosis and ankylosis open reduction of a condylar fracture in a child is not widely recommended. This retrospective study analyzed mandibular condyle fractures in the children who admitted in dept. of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Pusan paik hospital from 1984 to 1993 clinically and radiologically.
