[Mandibular fractures in children. Apropos of 20 cases].
Authors report their experiences about the caring for child mandible fractures at Yalgado Ouedraogo University Hospital Centre, CHUYO. These fractures constitute day-to-day relative immediate emergencies. The techniques of retention used after bone setting are various. Ligatures with steel thread are frequently used. The retention is shortened because of the quick strengthening noticed in child. The satisfying results reveal the necessity of classical retention and ligatures with steel thread in jawbone fractures.
