Non-osteogenic fibroma is a lesion most commonly seen within the metaphyseal region of the tibia or femur presenting during the second decade. Few cases have been reported in the jaws and all occurred in the mandible. This report documents an 18-year-old female with a non-osteogenic fibroma in the condyle.
Long-term follow-up findings in 29 patients having had childhood condylar fractures and 13 patients having had childhood mandibular body fractures combined with condylar fractures are presented. In only 12% of all cases moderate to severe mandibular growth abnormalities were observed. About 2/3 of these patients showed growth retardation on the condylar fracture side. 1/3 of this group, however, demonstrated more pronounced growth on the fracture side compared to the nonfracture side. Cephalometric measurements proved to be the most effective method for evaluation of growth disorders, whereas clinical examination and photographs were less efficient. Although function and anatomical remodelling was good, the probability of complete remodelling and functional rehabilitation is higher in younger children.
