Given significant long-term sequelae of inappropriate healing, adequate diagnosis and choice of management, which takes into account the patient\u2019s age and fracture characteristics, are paramount.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The data for this study were obtained from the medical records of patients treated in the Department of Surgical Dentistry and Paediatric Maxillofacial Surgery of the Bogomolets National Medical University from 2014 to 2020.

The largest number of fractures was found in the condylar processes region, 42%, and in the body of the mandible, 40%. The majority of patients were males and in the 13\u201317 age group (147 [49%] cases). Tigerstedt\u2019s maxillary-mandibular fixation splint was used in the majority of cases, alone or in the combination with open or internal fixation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Whilst the most common type of immobilisation in children in our series was Tigerstedt\u2019s maxillary-mandibular fixation splint, its use is limited to the variable bite period.
