Abstract:
Traumatic genial tubercle fracture of the mandible is a rare event that may cause airway compromise owing to loss of the support to the base of the tongue. Over the last 70 years, only 7 known cases of traumatic genial tubercle fractures have been reported. We detail the surgical management of 2 traumatically induced genial tubercle fractures that involved varying levels of airway compromise. These 2 cases add to the limited body of knowledge of the surgical management of this rare and potentially fatal mandible fracture pattern.
