[Anatomicoclinical types of mandibular fractures in children (author's transl)]

|January 1, 1980
Abstract:
The author describes the particular type of fragility zones found in children's mandibles, which vary during growth, and discusses the anatomicoclinical types of fractures observed from the earliest age (symphysial disjunctions) until the end of mixed dentition. Emphasis is placed on one particular type, described in a previous communication: the paramedian form, which can be explained by the atomical position of certain dental germs, as well as the importance of reconstitution of the periosteum in displaced sub-condylar fractures.

01:55Bone Structure
Within the skeletal system, the structure of a bone, or osseous tissue, can be exemplified in a long bone, like the femur, where there are two types of osseous tissue: cortical and cancellous.
01:27Fractures: Bone Repair
Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
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...
