OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the long-term clinical and radiographic outcomes of @entity1538 and close treatment of condylar fractures of mandible in @entity1 . METHODS: A total of 78 cases (105 @entity174 ) were included in this study. All @entity1 (younger than 12 years at the time of injury were followed up for at least 3 years. According to the classification of the condylar fractures, @entity1538 or close treatment was chosen. Clinical outcomes were classified as favorable or unfavorable depending on the mouth opening, pattern of mouth opening, occlusion, facial symmetry. Condylar remodeling was defined as complete, moderate, or poor based on the radiographic findings. Depending on the classification, 14 sides of type I, 48 sides of type II and 43 sides of type III were included in this study. RESULTS: Open treatment was chosen in 51 sides and close treatment was chosen in 54 sides. Most of the @entity1 acquired satisfactory clinical outcomes. Better radiologic remodeling of the condylar process was found in the @entity1 treated by @entity1538 treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Favorable long-term clinical outcomes were obtained in both @entity1538 and close treatment of @entity174 . A better morphological remodeling of condylar process was found in @entity1 with @entity1538 treatment.
