Does closed treatment of pediatric mandibular condyle fractures result in restitutional remodeling

Abstract The treatment of pediatric mandibular condylar fracture (PMCF) is typically non-operative. The purpose of this study was to determine if non-operative management of PMCF, results in a new condylar process of normal morphology to regenerate after closed treatment (restitutional remodeling). The specific aim of the study was to observe restitutional remodeling (RM) in PMCF and review the literature. The investigators designed and implemented a retrospective study on pediatric patients (age
