Abstract
The management of pediatric facial fractures requires several considerations by the treating surgeon. Pediatric facial fractures occur less commonly than in adults. Among fracture patterns in children, studies have repeatedly demonstrated that mandible fractures are the most common facial fracture particularly the condyle. Most fractures in children are amenable to nonsurgical or closed treatment; however, certain indications exist for open treatment. The literature describing epidemiology, treatment trends, and long-term outcomes are limited in comparison with adult populations. The purpose of the article is to review the etiology, workup, and management of mandible fractures in children.
