Objective To evaluate the clinical effects of closed treatment in children’s condylar fractures. Methods Fixed arch splint ligation and orthodontic fixed appliance were used to treat 17 children’s condylar fractures. Patients needed to take temporomandibular joint functional training after 14-28 days intermaxillary traction. Results Three patients with low condylar fractures were ineffective after closed treatment for 14 days. 12 fractures patients acquired good results. One patient had unilateral occlusion. And one patient had mild limitation of mouth opening. Conclusion For condylar fractures in children without significant shift or temporomandibular joint dislocation, we can acquire favorable treatment to take arch splint ligation with orthodontic fixed appliance.
