“…Some advocate a more aggressive approach in children older than 7 years, arguing that condylar regeneration is less likely. [21][22][23] The pediatric condyles, "vascular bony sponges," 24 are to be respected as growth sites. Intracapsular injuries must therefore be managed conservatively and with physical therapy to prevent ankylosis, which is associated with severe growth abnormalities.…”

This study reports the demographics, treatment, and early follow-up of a sizable cohort of pediatric mandible fractures. Management principles for these injuries are outlined. Although definitive recommendations must be withheld until longer follow-up is available, the data presented here show that the treatment protocols used at the authors' center have yielded largely uncompromised mandibular function and growth thus far.

“…The condyle is affected in 20-30% of these mandibular fractures. [1][2] Conventional radiographs are accurate enough to diagnose condylar fractures. However, one prospective study in Germany involving 182 patients with 249 fractures of the mandibular condyles underwent conventional and computed tomography scans as diagnostic procedures.…”
