title: [Results of a conservative functional treatment concept for condylar fractures during childhood].
abstract: In 65 patients having sustained a condylar fracture of the mandible during the growth period between the ages of 2 and 12 years, the influence of age at trauma on later structural deformity and dysfunction was studied. A restitution undiscernible from normal was found in only 3 patients. In the other 62 patients varying degrees of subjective complaints, clinical dysfunction and radiographic irregularities of the ascending ramus or joint had to be noticed.
