title: [Effects on the growth and development of mandible with different treatment following condylar neck fracture in rat]
abstract: The condylar necks of young rats are fractured on this experiment.Fractures are treated with nonfixation and fixation,The growth and development of mandible can be interrupted in two groups,with a relatively small in condylar head,a relatively thick in condylar neck.A coronoid and a mandible length are relatively short.But the growth and development of mandible almost are completed,bilateral mandibles are almost symmetry except for ramus.The difference are not found in between two groups.The results of this study implied that young condylar neck fracture may be treated by conservation.
