Abstract
Physiotherapy is more critical in the recovery of the MO and prevention of bony ankylosis than patient data or fracture characteristics in pediatric trauma. We highly advocate the performance of voluntary mouth exercises, even in the absence of fracture. Forcible MO exercises are mandatory to recover a restricted MO. These exercises should be performed under close supervision of the patient's surgeon with the parents motivated to cooperate for at least 6Â months.
