Abstract:
Surgical treatment of pediatric maxillofacial region is a complex and challenging task to maxillofacial surgeons. Incorrect and inappropriate treatment of trauma will end with a secondary deformity that is very difficult to correct. Twenty-eight children with mandibular trauma were seen at the maxillofacial surgery department of Ramadi Teaching Hospital during the period from July 2009 to June 2012. Age, sex, etiology, associated injuries, pattern of fractures, and treatments were reviewed. Road traffic accident was the most common cause for pediatric mandibular trauma. Significant advances have been made in the management of these injuries, decreasing the incidence of secondary deformities.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
