“…The understanding of the anatomy and development of growing pediatric mandible will enable to explain this phenomenon. The shape of the condyle which has a relatively broad neck and high content of cancellous bone with only thin rim of cortex makes it the weakest site in the mandible, so force transmitted here will results in fracture of the neck and subcondylar region [47].…”

Aim The present study was planned to investigate the etiology of maxillofacial injuries and to analyze the pattern of maxillofacial factures as well as the various factors influencing their distribution. Study design A one year cross-sectional study was done and 1,108 patients with maxillofacial fractures were analyzed consecutively from April 2010 to March 2011 who reported to the department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in the Centre for Dental Education & Research and Jai Prakash Narayan Apex Trauma Centre, AIIMS, New Delhi. A performa was designed to collect the data that included age and sex distribution, etiology, influence of alcohol, type of fractures, use of restraints devices, associated injuries and treatment delivered. Results Out of 1,108 patients, 89.62 % were males with a male:female ratio of 8.63:1. The 21-30 year age group was found to be maximum (39.98 %). Road traffic accidents accounted for 49.01 %, followed by assault (22.38 %) and fall from height (21.66 %). Two wheelers were the most commonly involved vehicle. Out of 437 road traffic accident patients (excluding pedestrian, n = 106), only 52.40 % were found to be using restraints devices at the time of accident. Totally 25.45 % patients were under the influence of alcohol at the time of injury. According to anatomical distribution of fractures, mandibular fractures (33.57 %) were most prevalent, followed by maxilla (31.13 %), nasal (28.33 %) and zygoma (24.36 %). Head injuries (18.32 %) were found to be the most common associated injuries followed by lower limb fractures. Conclusion The motive behind executing this article is to analyze the various trends of facial fractures and all those factors that affect their distribution. A perfect understanding of pattern of maxillofacial fracture will assist the executors of health care in the treatment planning and management of facial injuries. Knowledge gained from the present study would influence in assessing the effectiveness of existing preventive measures and elaboration of future preventive measures and conducting new research.

“…La incidencia de fracturas faciales en pediátricos comparadas con los adultos es baja, probablemente porque el estado de maduración ósea permita que los huesos faciales sean más fl exibles, además de la poca neumatización de los senos paranasales,y una cantidad importante de grasa bucal que protege la región malar en los infantes (1, 2,7,8,15).…”

Tratamiento médico quirúrgico de una secuela de fractura mandibular infectada: reporte de casoGhersi-Miranda H, Carrión-Mauricio L. Tratamiento médico quirúrgico de una secuela de fractura mandibular infectada: reporte de caso. Rev Estomatol Herediana. 2011; 21(4):210-218. RESUMEN Aproximadamente 22 millones de niños sufren lesiones anualmente en el mundo, el 12% es resultado de traumas. Las fracturas mandibulares se encuentran entre ellas pudiendo, potencialmente, generar complicaciones en la erupción dental, pérdidas de dientes, alteración de la oclusión, crecimiento y desarrollo facial. Las causas frecuentes son caídas, accidentes deportivos y vehiculares. El diagnóstico es complejo, por la poca colaboración de los pacientes. Existen controversias respecto al tratamiento en pediátricos. Estas fracturas deben ser tratadas lo antes posible, teniendo en cuenta la edad, ubicación de la fractura, tiempo, etc. Se pueden presentar algunas complicaciones postoperatorias como: infecciones, alteraciones en la sensibilidad, deformidades faciales, etc. Se reporta el manejo médico quirúrgico de un paciente pediátrico, con diagnóstico de proceso infeccioso moderado agudo, asociado a secuela postquirúrgica de fractura mandibular. Fue tratado en el Servicio de Cirugía Oral y Maxilofacial de la Facultad de Estomatología de la Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia. Lima-Perú. Conclusiones: Las fracturas en el cuerpo mandibular rara vez infl uyen en el crecimiento óseo si el tratamiento es realizado rápida y correctamente. Las miniplacas reabsorbibles y metálicas son recomendables de acuerdo al operador para las fracturas maxilofaciales, no infl uyendo en las complicaciones postoperatorias. Palabras clave: FRACTURAS MANDIBULARES / OSTEOMIELITIS / QUIMIOTERAPIA.Management in mandibular fracture complication in a child. A case report ABSTRACT Approximately 22 million children are injured each year worldwide, 12% are result of trauma. Mandibular fractures can, potentially, lead to complications in tooth eruption; tooth loss; abnormal occlusion, facial growth and development. Common causes are falls, vehicle accidents and sports. Diagnosis is complex, most of them are uncooperative patients. Some prefer the invasive management (rigid fi xation) and others the conservative one. These fractures should be treated as soon as possible, considering age, fracture location, time, etc. There may be some postoperative complications as infection, hypoesthesia, facial deformities, etc. We report a surgical medical management of a pediatric patient. He came to our clinic with a diagnosis of mild acute infectious process associated with postoperative sequelae of mandibular fracture. He was treated at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Faculty of Dentistry of the Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia. Lima-Peru. Conclusions: The mandibular body fractures rarely affect bone growth if treatment is done quickly and correctly. The reabsorbable and metal miniplates are used according to the maxillofacial surgeon, not infl uencing postoper...
