Maxillofacial Fractures in Children

Abstract: Maxillofacial fractures in Japanese children were retrospectively analyzed. The subjects were 287 patients aged 15 years and younger seeking treatment for maxillofacial fractures in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Nara Medical University. The patients were 186 males and 101 females. Injuries most frequently occurred as a result of traffic accidents in 125 patients, 92 of which were bicycle-related accidents. Injuries by falling from one level to another were found in 49, primarily in younger … Show more

Thus, a correct imaging diagnosis is essential for a better prognosis and treatment outcome.…”

“…Im Falle eines Aufpralls bewirkt dies eine höhere Wahrscheinlichkeit von Hirnschädelfrakturen, was sich auch in der Literatur findet (2,26,27). Weiterhin sollen die noch fehlende Pneumatisation des Mittelgesichts, das Überwiegen von weniger mineralisierter Spongiosa, der relativ dickere Weichgewebsmantel (Stirn, Wange) und der durch die enthaltenen Zahnkeime kompaktere Kieferknochen weniger frakturanfällig sein (2,26,27). Dies gilt auch für den Gelenkfortsatz des Unterkiefers, der in früher Kindheit noch kurz und plump ist (18).…”
