Abstract
Facial injuries, including maxillofacial trauma (MFT), are common in children and adolescents due to their age and bone maturation stage. Children's injuries are less common than adults' due to parental supervision and the flexibility of the facial bone. Causes of maxillofacial bone fractures (MFBF) vary based on socioeconomic, cultural, and environmental factors. Management of MFBF in children and adolescents should consider their growth and development stage. A systematic review is needed to understand the prevalence, pattern, and distribution of MFBF in Saudi Arabia. This systematic review aimed to identify papers on MFBF in children and adolescents in Saudi Arabia using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. The search strategy involved searching electronic databases like PubMed/Medline, Web of Science, and Ebsco. The review included full-text original research papers, with inclusion criteria including English publications, human studies, and no restrictions on sample size, gender, date, or language. The selection process involved screening titles and abstracts, evaluating full texts, and identifying relevant studies. Data extraction involved two authors individually assessing selected studies. The PRISMA flow diagram of the literature search revealed that 26 papers were identified, of which 15 remained after excluding duplicates. After screening titles and abstracts, 10 articles were removed, and five papers were assessed for eligibility. Four papers met the inclusion criteria for the systematic review. The studies examined 1447 patients for the presence of MFBF in different regions. The majority of MFBF were caused by falls and road traffic accidents (RTAs) in children and adolescents. Mandibular fractures were the most common, followed by maxillary fractures. The majority of patients had tooth/teeth avulsions, followed by tooth luxation and crown fractures. Only one study described investigation methods for MFBF diagnosis. The systematic review reveals a high prevalence of MFBF among children and adolescents in Saudi Arabia, primarily due to falls and RTAs. The mandible is the most frequently fractured bone, and many children have concomitant teeth involvement. To reduce MFBF, effective initiatives and parental awareness strategies are recommended.

Abstract
Introduction Maxillofacial trauma in children is uncommon, accounting for between 1 % and 14 % of all facial trauma in the general population. Objective To describe the epidemiological and anatomical-clinical aspects of mandibular fractures in children. Material and method This was a retrospective descriptive cross-sectional study with non-probabilistic accidental sampling. It took place in the maxillofacial surgery and stomatology department of Cocody University Hospital in the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire, over a 20-year period (2000-2019). The study population consisted of patients aged 0-16 years admitted to our department for a mandibular fracture. At the end of this study, we identified 58 patients. Data was entered using Excel 2016. Tables and graphs were processed using Excel version 2016. Results we have identified 58 patients. The mean age of patients was 9.35 ± 2.1 years, with extremes of 1 and 16 years, and a sex ratio of 2,22 in favouring men. The 6-12 age group was the most affected (n: 34 cases or 60.35 %). Soft tissue wounds were present in all our patients, followed by peri-mandibular swelling (n: 37 cases or 63.79 %) and disorders of the dental articulation (n: 28 cases or 48.2 %). Condylar fractures were the most frequent (46.87 %).Mandibular fracture lines were uni-focal in 75 % of cases. These fractures were associated with other facial lesions in 48.28 % of cases and with extra-facial lesions in 34.48 % of cases. Conclusion Mandibular fractures are common in maxillofacial trauma in children. Condylar fractures are the most common, almost always associated with chin injuries. Hence the importance of a systematic examination of the mandibular condyles.

Abstract
Objective The study was conducted to analyze the pattern, etiology and management of maxillofacial trauma in children up to 16 years of age. Study Design Records of the patients who sustained maxillofacial trauma from 2013 to 2018 were retrospectively evaluated for age, gender, etiology, pattern of injuries and their management. Children were divided into three groups-primary (0-5 yrs), mixed (6-11 yrs) and permanent dentition group (12-16 yrs). Maxillofacial trauma was observed as midface fracture, mandible fractures, soft tissue injuries and associated tooth fractures. SPSS software version 19.0 was used for the data analysis. Result A total record of 99 children were evaluated. Gender-wise distribution was reported twice in male than females. Fall was observed as the major etiological factor (73.7%) with a significant p value of 0.012 using chi-square test. The highest frequency of maxillofacial trauma is noted in mixed dentition group (47.4%). Mandible fracture was most frequently observed followed by associated soft tissue injury. Conservative approach/closed reduction for management was executed for the majority of cases. Conclusion Knowledge gained from the present study would help in assessing the effectiveness of present preventive modalities and facilitate elaboration of future preventive measures and new research works as well.

Abstract
The management of pediatric facial fractures requires several considerations by the treating surgeon. Pediatric facial fractures occur less commonly than in adults. Among fracture patterns in children, studies have repeatedly demonstrated that mandible fractures are the most common facial fracture particularly the condyle. Most fractures in children are amenable to nonsurgical or closed treatment; however, certain indications exist for open treatment. The literature describing epidemiology, treatment trends, and long-term outcomes are limited in comparison with adult populations. The purpose of the article is to review the etiology, workup, and management of mandible fractures in children.

Abstract
AIMS Children and adolescents who are affected by trauma may have complications that are more serious and dangerous. Herein, a meta-analysis to evaluate the prevalence of maxillofacial trauma caused by various etiologies according to the geographic regions of the world among children and adolescents was conducted. MATERIALS AND METHODS A comprehensive search was performed in four databases of PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Scopus from January 1, 2006 until July 7, 2021. To evaluate the quality of included articles, an adapted version of the Newcastle-Ottawa scale was used. The prevalence of maxillofacial trauma was estimated by event rates and 95% confidence intervals in relation to etiology and geographic region of study population. RESULTS Through search in the databases and the electronic sources, 3071 records were identified, and 58 studies were eligible for inclusion in the meta-analysis. A total of 264,433 maxillofacial trauma cases were reported by all included studies. Globally, the overall prevalence of maxillofacial trauma was highest due to Road Traffic Crashes (RTC) (33.8%) followed by falls (20.7%), violence (9.9%), and sports (8.1%) in children/adolescents. The highest prevalence of maxillofacial trauma were observed in African population (48.3%) while trauma due to falls was most prevalent in Asian population (44.1%). Maxillofacial trauma due to violence (27.6%) and sports (13.3%) were highest in North Americans. CONCLUSION The findings demonstrate that RTC was the most prevalent etiology of maxillofacial trauma in the world. The prevalent causes of maxillofacial trauma differed between the regions of study population.

Abstract
Craniofacial deformities (CFDs) develop following oncological resection, trauma, or congenital disorders. Trauma is one of the top five causes of death globally, with rates varying from country to country. They result in a non-healing composite tissue wound as they degenerate in soft or hard tissues. Approximately one-third of oral diseases are caused by gum disease. Due to the complexity of anatomical structures in the region and the variety of tissue-specific requirements, CFD treatments present many challenges. Many treatment methods for CFDs are available today, such as drugs, regenerative medicine (RM), surgery, and tissue engineering. Functional restoration of a tissue or an organ after trauma or other chronic diseases is the focus of this emerging field of science. The materials and methodologies used in craniofacial reconstruction have significantly improved in the last few years. A facial fracture requires bone preservation as much as possible, so tiny fragments are removed initially. It is possible to replace bone marrow stem cells with oral stem cells for CFDs due to their excellent potential for bone formation. This review article discusses regenerative approaches for different types of craniofacial diseases.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the clinical effectiveness and safety of bioresorbable implants for treating paediatric zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) fractures with concomitant orbital floor defects. METHODS A retrospective review of paediatric patients who underwent ZMC repair with concomitant orbital floor fractures with bioresorbable implants in Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital from July 2015 to June 2019 was performed. The primary outcome measures included ocular motility, diplopia, enophthalmos, facial deformities, and restricted mouth opening, as well as complication rates. Pre- and post-operative computed tomography scans were obtained for clinical diagnosis and surgical effectiveness. RESULTS Twenty two children were included in this study. Facial deformities were corrected in all 22 cases by surgical reconstruction postoperatively, and the average relative distance of Portals point-Zygomaxillare and Anteriornasalspine-Zygomaxillare were 1.3 ± 0.6mm ( P = 0.22) and 1.2 ± 0.5mm ( P = 0.19). The eye movement restored to normal in 13 patients. The mean amount of relative enophthalmos was 1.0 ± 0.4 mm ( P = 0.12). 12 cases had complete resolution of diplopia postoperatively at the extremes of the gaze, and 1 case presented persistent diplopia on the down gaze as before, but from level III to level I. Facial numbness was resolved completely in 6 cases, and 2 cases presented with persistent numbness but relieved significantly. The average Hounsfield units of RapidSorb plates and OrbFloor PI were 154 ± 5 and 99 ± 4 respectively on computed tomography image obtained 1 week postoperatively, which showed no obvious difference compared with 0.5 year postoperatively ( P > 0.1). Hounsfield units of implants gradually declined around 1 year postoperatively. Hounsfield units of RapidSorb plates (20 ± 1) were consistent with periorbital tissue during postoperative 2-year follow-up, and Hounsfield units of OrbFloor PI (19 ± 1) were consistent with periorbital tissue during postoperative 1.5-year follow-up. No patients had severe sequelae or implant related complications postoperatively. None of bone nonunion, malunion, infection or rejection occurred during the follow-up periods. CONCLUSIONS Open reduction and internal fixation for the treatment of ZMC fracture have achieved significant improvement in functional and cosmetic outcomes postoperatively. Bioresorbable materials have been proved to be effective and safe in the treatment of children's ZMC and orbital wall fractures.

Abstract
Pediatric facial fractures are not as common as facial fractures occurring in the adult population. Their therapeutic approach is different because they affect patients with active growth, and have an etiology and epidemiology that vary depending on different cultural, religious and demographic factors. This research aimed to identify the main factors involved in the etiology of pediatric facial fractures, as well as the epidemiology of pediatric facial fractures in a sample of children and adolescents from North-Western Romania. This 10-year retrospective study was performed in a tertiary center for oral and maxillofacial surgery in North-Western Romania. Medical files of patients that were admitted between 1 January 2002 and 31 December 2022 were analyzed. Pediatric patients aged 0 to 18 years were included in this study. The final sample consisted of 142 children and adolescents diagnosed with facial fractures, with this number representing 14.1% of all patients affected by facial fractures. Most frequently, fractures were identified in the 13–18 age group (78.9%, n = 112), which were more often associated with fractures caused by interpersonal violence than caused by road traffic accidents, falls or animal attacks. Boys were more affected (88%, n = 125), and were more frequently associated with fractures caused by interpersonal violence. The most frequently identified etiological factors included interpersonal violence (50%, n = 71), falls (18.3%, n = 26) and road traffic accidents (11.3%, n = 16). In terms of location, the mandible was the most affected facial bone structure (66.2%, n = 94), and patients with mandibular fractures were more frequently associated with fractures caused by interpersonal violence. The incidence of pediatric facial fractures should be lowered because they may interfere with the proper development of the facial skeleton. Establishing measures aimed at preventing interpersonal violence, as well as other causes involved in the etiology of facial fractures is imperative.

Abstract
Fractures of the zygomaticomaxillary complex and zygomatic arch are common athletic injuries. Fracture displacement can lead to midfacial retrusion and widening, causing noticeable deformity. Associated signs and symptoms include hypoesthesia of the infraorbital nerve distribution, trismus, and subjective malocclusion. Operative treatment is indicated in cases of significant displacement or functional disturbance. The approach and details of osteosynthesis are catered to the specific characteristics of the fracture. Technology, such as virtual surgical planning, intraoperative navigation, and intraoperative imaging, has the potential to improve accuracy of treating challenging fractures.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Facial fractures of children are relatively infrequent compared to adults. There are variations in facial fractures depending on the socioeconomic, cultural, and educational factors of the country and time. Our aim is to describe epidemiological trends of facial fractures in the pediatric population, understand differences amongst the age groups, and the impact this has on clinical outcomes and management in South Australia. METHODS A retrospective review was conducted from January 2012 to January 2017 at the Women and Children's Hosptial, Adelaide. All facial fractures of children, aged 16 years and below, that attended or were referred to the unit were included in this study. RESULTS A total of 265 pediatric patients presented with a facial fracture with a male predominance. Some 49.1% occurred from a sports-related injury with bicycle motocross as the single most common type of sport. The mandible was the common fracture type with 21.9% of the total cohort having an associated injury. There were significant differences between boys and girls for age, age groups, mechanism of injury, and type of sport (P < 0.05). Boys were 2.3 times more likely to have a sport-related facial fracture than girls. Early adolescence were 5.2 times more likely to have an orbitozygomatic fracture than children of early childhood (P < 0.05). Age, associated injuries, and sport-related facial fractures were independently associated with increased length of stay (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS There are differences amongst boys and girls and an understanding of these differences can aid the diagnosis and management in a growing child's face.

Despite the advantages to social and physical development that organized sports may have, these activities also place a significant number of America's youth at risk for facial injuries. Pediatric facial fractures resulting from sports trauma are well documented within pediatric literature. Despite knowledge of the importance of safety equipment, there is a continued need for increased awareness about fracture patterns resulting from sports injuries to develop better strategies for their prevention. METHODS A retrospective review of all pediatric patients (age <18) who presented to Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital as a level 1 trauma between January 2006 and December 2015 with radiologically confirmed facial fractures was performed. Data regarding patient demographic information, mechanism of injury, facial fracture location, associated injuries, hospital course, and need for surgical intervention was collected. RESULTS Of the 1274 patients reviewed, 135 (10.59%) were found to have facial fractures resulting from sports trauma and were included in our cohort. The median age was 14 with 77.8% of the cohort being male. The most common fractures identified were orbital (n = 75), mandibular (n = 42), nasal (n = 27), maxilla (n = 26). Fractures were more frequently related to involvement in baseball/softball and bicycling n = 46 and n = 31 respectively. Eighty-two (60.74%) patients required admission, 6 requiring ICU level care, 70 (51.85%) were found to require surgery. There were 14 patients who were found to have a concomitant skull fracture and 6 with TBI. There were no fatalities in this cohort of patients. CONCLUSION Pediatric facial fractures occur in the same anatomic locations as adult facial fractures. However, their frequency, severity, and treatment vary because of important anatomical and developmental differences in these populations. Despite available knowledge on this subject and increased use of protective equipment, pediatric facial fractures continue to occur with similar distribution as historically described. While sports participation confers numerous benefits, it is vital that we continue researching pediatric facial trauma and associated fractures to develop protective equipment and protocols to mitigate the risks of these activities.

Abstract
The study aimed at investigating a new three-dimensional classification of healing morphology in condylar fractures in children and adolescents after closed treatment, and establish its association with fracture type and clinical outcomes. The medical records of children and adolescents with condylar fracture were reviewed, retrospectively. The clinical outcomes were assessed by mandibular deviation during mouth opening, Helkimo anamnestic index (Ai), and Helkimo clinical dysfunction index (Di). The condylar healing morphology was evaluated through three-dimensional CT images after 1-2 years of follow-up. In total, 96 patients with 142 condylar fracture sites were included in the study. Condylar healing morphology was classified into three main patterns: unchanged (21.13%), spherical (62.68%), and irregular (16.19% - including the three subtypes triangular, L-shaped, and Y-shaped). There was a significant difference in the distribution of the three main healing patterns among various fracture types (p = 0.0227). Irregular patterns occurred more frequently in adolescents than in children. In unilateral fractures, no obvious association was found between condylar healing morphology and clinical outcomes, including mandibular deviation during mouth opening (p = 0.162), Ai (p = 0.0991) and Di (p = 0.25). Most patients healing in different condylar patterns reached a good clinical outcome after 1-2 years. Although the healing morphology of condylar fractures in children and adolescents remained abnormal, good clinical outcome was achieved over the 2-year follow-up. Therefore, closed treatment remains a good approach.

Abstract
Study Design A retrospective study investigating maxillofacial bone fractures in the pediatric and adolescent population. Objective The aim of this study was to present our experience in the management of pediatric facial bone fractures. Methods This was a retrospective study of maxillofacial bone fractures in children and adolescents between the ages <1 year and 19 years in a Saudi Arabian subpopulation. Data collected include demographics, etiology, pattern, and treatment of maxillofacial bone fractures. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows Version 25 (IBM Corp.). Results were presented as simple frequencies and descriptive statistics. Results Of the 1297 patients with maxillofacial bone fractures, 247 were cases involving children and adolescents giving a prevalence of 19.0% (247 patients, N = 1297). There were 233 males and 14 females with an M:F ratio of 16.6:1. The ages ranged from 9 months to 19 years with a mean ± SD of 14.4 ± 4.6. The age-group between 16 and 20 years had the highest frequency of patients (144 (58.4%)). In the 1- to 5-year group, falls accounted for most of the etiology (15 (6.1%)), while in the 16- to 20-year group, motor vehicular accident (MVA) was the main reason (120 (48.6%)). The majority of the fractures occurred in the mandible with 151(61.1%) cases. Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) were the main treatment modality in 171 (69.2%) patients. Conclusions MVA was the main etiology of maxillofacial fractures in children and adolescents with male predominance, while the mandible had been the most frequently fractured bone. ORIF was the main treatment modality.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to clarify the frequency of missed mandibular fractures and to identify possible predictive factors for missed diagnosis. This was a retrospective study that included patients <20 years of age with a recent mandibular fracture. The outcome variable was missed mandibular fracture, which was determined when a fracture was not suspected or diagnosed during the patient's first assessment in primary healthcare. The primary predictor variable was age group (i.e. children <13 years or teenagers/adolescents aged 13-19 years). The explanatory variables were sex, mechanism of injury, and type of facial facture. Other variables were clinical symptoms and findings. Mandibular fracture was missed at first contact in 27 of 182 patients (14.8%). Fracture was missed significantly more often in patients <13 years than in older patients (33.3% vs. 8.8%, P<0.001). The only significant symptom or clinical finding that was associated with missed fractures was skin wound of the jaw (P=0.009). There was no association between missed fracture and sex or mechanism of injury. Mandibular fractures in children are often missed at the first healthcare contact. Careful examination is necessary in paediatric mandibular injuries, particularly in the youngest age groups. Consultation should be smooth between paediatric trauma units and maxillofacial surgeons.

Pediatric-Specific Midfacial Fracture Patterns and Management: Pediatric Versus Adult Patients. J Craniofac Surg 2020; 31:e312-e315.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to compare the midfacial fracture patterns and management approaches between pediatric and adult patients. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 164 pediatric patients (<16 years old) and 564 nongeriatric adult patients (16 to 65 years old) with midfacial fractures at a single institution between 2011 and 2016. The location of the fractures, along with the etiology and management of the midfacial fractures, were compared. RESULTS Significantly greater proportions of pediatric versus adult patients had sports-related injuries (P < 0.001) and sustained nasal fractures (P < 0.001). On the other hand, significantly greater proportions of adult versus pediatric patients were injured in falls, traffic accidents, or assaults (P = 0.004, P < 0.001, and P = 0.002) and sustained maxillary or zygomatic fractures (P = 0.039 and P < 0.001). Bivariate logistic regression analyses revealed that the risks of nasal, maxillary, and zygomatic fractures were significantly related to age status after adjusting for etiology (P < 0.001, P = 0.045, and P < 0.001). In contrast, the risks of hospitalization and surgical treatment were significantly associated with etiology, but not with age status (P = 0.290 and P = 0.847). CONCLUSION These data suggest that the age-related structure and composition of the facial skeleton affect the pediatric-specific fracture patterns independent of the etiology. The comparisons in this study may serve as a guide for the management of pediatric midfacial fractures.

Abstract
Objective
Sports-related injuries, such as facial fractures, are potentially debilitating and may lead to long-term functional and aesthetic deficits in a pediatric patient. In this study, we analyze sports-related facial fractures in the urban pediatric population in an effort to characterize patterns of injury and improve management strategies and outcomes.
Methods
Retrospective chart review was performed for all facial fractures resulting from sports injuries in the pediatric population at a level-1 trauma center (University Hospital, Newark, NJ).
Results
Seventeen pediatric patients were identified as having sustained a fracture of the facial skeleton due to sports injury. Mean age was 13.9 years old. A total of 29 fractures were identified. Most common fracture sites included the orbit (
n
= 12), mandible (
n
= 5), nasal bone (
n
= 5), and zygomaticomaxillary complex (
n
= 3). The most common concomitant injuries included skull fracture (
n
= 3), intracranial hemorrhage (
n
= 4), and traumatic brain injury (
n
= 4). One patient was intubated upon arrival to the emergency department. Hospital admission was required in 13 patients, 4 of which were admitted to an intensive care setting. Nine patients required operative intervention. Mean length of hospital stay was 2.4 days. No patients were expired.
Conclusions
Sports-related facial fractures are potentially debilitating injuries in the pediatric population. Analysis of fracture pattern and concomitant injuries is imperative to develop effective management strategies and prevention techniques.
