Condylar fractures are among the most frequent fractures in the context of traumatic lesions of the face. The management of condylar fractures is still controversial, especially when fractures occur in children: if overlooked or inappropriately treated, these lesions may lead to severe sequelae, both cosmetic and functional. The therapy must be careful because severe long-term complications can occur. In this case report, the authors present a case of mandibular fracture in which the decision between surgical therapy and functional therapeutic regimen may be controversial due to the particular anatomy of the fracture line and the age of the patient.
髁突骨折是面部创伤性损伤中最常见的骨折之一。髁突骨折的治疗仍存在争议，尤其是在儿童发生骨折时：如果忽视或治疗不当，这些损伤可能会导致严重的后遗症，包括外观和功能方面。治疗必须谨慎，因为可能会出现严重的长期并发症。在本病例报告中，作者介绍了一例下颌骨骨折病例，由于骨折线的特殊解剖结构和患者年龄，手术治疗和功能治疗方案之间的抉择可能存在争议。
