Fractures: Bone Repair

Fractures: Bone Repair

Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...

Area of Science:

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Trauma Surgery
Orthognathic Surgery

Background:

Mandibular body fractures are common injuries, frequently resulting from interpersonal violence or motor vehicle accidents.
These fractures can occur in athletes and are often accompanied by other mandibular fractures.
Restoring pre-injury occlusion and facial aesthetics is the primary treatment objective.

Purpose of the Study:

To present three clinical cases of mandibular body fractures.
To illustrate the management of complex mandibular fractures.
To discuss treatment strategies for achieving optimal functional and aesthetic outcomes.

Main Methods:

Review of three patient cases with mandibular body fractures.
Surgical intervention involving either closed reduction with maxillomandibular fixation or open reduction and internal fixation.
Assessment of pre- and post-operative occlusion and facial appearance.

Main Results:

Successful treatment outcomes were achieved in all three presented cases.
Pre-injury occlusion and facial appearance were restored post-operatively.
The chosen surgical methods effectively addressed the mandibular body fractures.

Conclusions:

Mandibular body fractures necessitate prompt and accurate treatment to restore function and form.
Both closed reduction with maxillomandibular fixation and open reduction and fixation are viable treatment options.
Case-by-case evaluation is crucial for selecting the optimal surgical approach.
