A longitudinal study of the remodelling process in three growing individuals who had suffered low condylar fractures with luxation was made utilizing computerized tomography. The small fragment of the condyle is partially resorbed during the remodeling process, while new bone is formed on the lateral aspect. Below the fracture site in the ascending ramus bone apposition was observed. Each of these remodeling responses was more vigorous in the one child examined than in the two adolescents.
