The aim of this study was to evaluate the epidemiology of facial bone fractures among children of &lt;12 years, their management and outcome in an Indian city. Material and methods This retrospective study included children of &lt;12 years of age with facial bone fractures admitted over a span of 3 years. In order to compare our results we reviewed the existing literature related to pediatric facial bone fractures. Results A total of 45 children were admitted for facial bone fractures. Forty (89%) of them were above 5 years of age and male to female ratio was 2:1. About 53.33% of these injuries were because of fall from height. Mandible fracture was the most common facial bone fracture among admitted patients. Symphysis and para-symphysis was the commonest site of mandibular fractures, seen in 49% cases. Majority of these fractures were managed by Inter-maxillary fixation and inter-osseous wiring. Mini-plates were used for widely displaced compound fractures. For un-displaced fractures observation alone was sufficient. Conclusion Mandible is the commonest facial bone fracture in children, more often caused by accidental fall from height. The high osteogenic potential of pediatric mandible allows non-surgical management to be successful in an increased proportion of younger patients.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0972-2068</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 0973-9793</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1007/s12262-010-0056-x</identifier><identifier>PMID: 23133253</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>India: Springer-Verlag</publisher><subject>Cardiac Surgery ; Children ; Fractures ; Internal fixation in fractures ; Medicine ; Medicine &amp; Public Health ; Neurosurgery ; Original ; Original Article ; Pediatric Surgery ; Pediatrics ; Plastic Surgery ; Surgery ; Thoracic Surgery</subject><ispartof>Indian journal of surgery, 2010-06, Vol.72 (3), p.232-235</ispartof><rights>Association of Surgeons of India 2010</rights><rights>COPYRIGHT 2010 Springer</rights><rights>Indian Journal of Surgery is a copyright of Springer, (2010).
