“…The mandible is a U-shaped bone identified by its anatomical landmarks or subsites which are the condylar process or the condyle, the ramus, the body, the angle and the symphysis or parasymphysis (4,7). Fracture patterns in children differ based on their stages of dentition, as the weak points of the pediatric mandible vary with age.…”

“…According to various studies reported in literature, the condylar region consisting of the condylar neck and condylar head is the most frequently fractured structure accounting for up to 56% of all mandibular fractures in children and adolescents. (7,10). A study by http://dx.doi.org/10.52533/JOHS.2022.2701 Glazer et al conducted on 61 children between the ages of 1.5 years to 16 years treated for mandibular fractures over a period of 17 years from 1993 to 2010.…”

“…The second most frequently fractured anatomical subunit of the mandible is the parasymphysis accounting for 20%-32% of mandibular fractures (7). In a study by Eskitascioglu et al, 235 cases ages 16 and under with mandibular fractures were studied retrospectively in the department of Plastic, Reconstructive, Esthetics Surgery in Turkey.…”

“…The percentage of angle fractures ranges accounts for 4.4% to 45% of mandibular fractures. The increased incidence occurs with the development of the third molar tooth, during the teenage years of children (7). Due to its anatomic location in a high stress region with the attachment of many muscles, fractures of the angle are not observed.…”

“…The mandible a membranous bone with cartilaginous tissue containing growth centres undergoing secondary calcification with strength reinforced by muscles of mastication (6). It is a complex musculoskeletal unit that is responsible for basic life functions such as speech and mastication (7). Despite the protective features of pediatric facial bones, the most commonly fractured facial bone in children is the mandible.…”

Maxillofacial pediatric fractures are highly uncommon due to their unique characteristics of high elasticity, cartilaginous tissue, lack of pneumatization, evolutionary stages of dentition and other protective features. However, despite their rarity, pediatric facial fractures often seen by pediatric surgeons, plastic surgeons and in the emergency department. The mandible is the most commonly fractured pediatric facial bone. In this review, we will discuss the various patterns of mandibular fractures, their rates and prevalence in the pediatric population. An extensive search was conducted from various electronic databases such as PubMed, Medline Embase, Google Scholar and Cochrane Library to retrieve original researches and narrative reviews. The most common site to be fractured in the mandible is the condylar process, followed by the symphysis and the angle. Condylar process fractures are more common in younger children between the ages of 1 to 13 and angular fractures supersede during the teenage years. Mandibular fractures are also categorized based on the localization and number of fractures such as a single fracture, or multiple fracture both unilateral and bilateral. Further studies with larger sample sizes and specific age groups should be conducted to achieve more significant results.

Introduction: The facial fractures in pediatric patients are rare, and they need an immediate treatment to recover the function and aesthetic to the young patients. Anatomic reduction along with rigid skeletal stabilization is mandatory until bone union has occurred. Special consideration about variation in anatomy and physiology of pediatric patients, as well as the particular stage of growth and dental development should be preferred. Case report: We present a case of 5 year old girl patient with fractures of the parasymphyseal and left angle of mandible horizontally and vertically unfavourable, with significant displacement and huge lacerated wound of the face caused by machete slashed. We successfully managed the pediatric complex mandible fractures by performing open reduction internal fixation using resorbable miniplates and gunning splint as intermaxillary fixation. Conclusion: Pediatric mandible fractures requiring ORIF are rare. The combination of intermaxillary fixation and resorbable fixation system is needed postoperatively because of the extensive fractures for adequate fixation and good outcomes.
