    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Traumatology
    • Craniofacial Surgery
    • Pediatric Orthodontics

    Background:

    • Facial skeleton fractures in children present unique challenges due to distinct anatomical and morphological features of the pediatric skull.
    • Understanding these peculiarities is essential for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the etiology, location, and therapeutic outcomes of facial skeleton fractures in pediatric patients.
    • To evaluate the long-term sequelae of these fractures on craniofacial development.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of medical records for 58 pediatric patients (ages 1-14) with facial skeleton fractures.
    • Clinical and radiographic follow-up examinations conducted on 37 patients after an average of 5 years post-injury.

    Main Results:

    • Facial fractures constituted 9.3% of all facial fractures in the study cohort.
    • Traffic accidents were the primary cause, accounting for 41% of injuries.
    • Long-term follow-up revealed jaw or tooth anomalies in 56.7%, condyloid process abnormalities in 14.7%, and dental anomalies along fracture lines in 27% of patients.

    Conclusions:

    • Pediatric facial fractures require specialized consideration due to unique craniofacial development.
    • A significant percentage of pediatric facial fractures result in long-term dental and jaw anomalies, necessitating careful management.
    • Findings inform therapeutic strategies for optimizing outcomes in pediatric facial trauma.
