A survey of 476 cases of mandibular fractures in Iraq revealed that 100 cases (21%) occurred in children under the age of 13 years. Twice as many fractures were seen in the 6- to 13-year-old group than in the 0- to 5-year-old group. The male to female ratio was 2/1. The site distribution in descending order of frequency was canine region, condyle, angle body and symphysis. Of the 33 condylar fractures, only two showed signs of deviation and ankylosis. Most of these fractures were treated by simple methods of fixation.
对伊拉克476例下颌骨骨折病例的调查显示，100例（21%）发生在13岁以下儿童中。6至13岁组的骨折病例数是0至5岁组的两倍。男女比例为2比1。骨折部位按发生频率由高到低依次为尖牙区、髁突、角部体部和正中联合。在33例髁突骨折中，只有两例出现偏斜和关节强直迹象。这些骨折大多采用简单的固定方法治疗。
