Summary

This study analyzed 35 mandibular fracture cases, finding traffic accidents and assaults as leading causes, particularly in younger males. Condylar fractures were most common and associated with higher complication rates.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Trauma Surgery
  • Orthodontics

Context:

  • Mandibular fractures are common injuries resulting from various trauma mechanisms.
  • Understanding the epidemiology and treatment outcomes is crucial for improving patient care.
  • This study reviews a decade of mandibular fracture cases at a single institution.

Purpose:

  • To analyze the causes, fracture sites, treatment modalities, and complications of mandibular fractures.
  • To identify risk factors associated with specific fracture types and outcomes.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of current treatment protocols and suggest improvements.

Summary:

  • A retrospective analysis of 35 mandibular fracture cases (1994-2002) revealed a male predominance (2:1) and peak incidence in the 20-29 age group.

  • Traffic accidents (52%) and assaults (31%) were the primary causes, with condylar fractures (33%) being the most frequent site.
  • Open reduction with miniplates was the predominant treatment, though condylar fractures showed a higher complication rate.
  • Impact:

    • Findings highlight the need for targeted prevention strategies for traffic accidents and assaults.
    • The study suggests optimizing treatment for condylar fractures and exploring biodegradable materials.
    • Results contribute to evidence-based practice in managing mandibular fractures, aiming to reduce fixation duration and complications.
