Abstract

Objectives: To determine the frequency of condylar fractures in children presented.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive (cross-sectional) study was carried out at 2nd November 2020 to 25th October 2022. A total of 261trauma patients were observed to determine the frequency of condylar fractures in children.
Results: A total of 261 maxillofacial trauma patients were included in the study. Among these, 109 (42%) had condyle fracture. Half of the patients (51.4%) were in the age of 11-15 years followed by 6-10 years (35.8%) with mean age of 12 years. Among 109 patients who had mandibular condylar fracture, majority were males (61%) with a male to female ratio of 2:1. Regarding the etiology, the main reason was fall (37.6%) followed by road traffi c accident (26.6%). In relation to the fracture distribution, unilateral condyle fracture (74.3%) predominate the bilateral involvement. More over isolated condyle fractures (56%) were more frequent than fracture at multiple sites (44%) with the most common combination noted was condyle and para symphysis (52%).
Conclusion: The majority of patients were toddlers and school going children with malepred ominance. The mandibular condyle was the most frequent fractured site mainly due to fall and RTA. Special precautions should be taken particularly during growing age in order to prevent fall injuries and its subsequent complication.
