Compression osteosynthesis of mandibular fractures: a retrospective study

Area of Science:

• Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
• Trauma Surgery
• Orthopedic Surgery

Background:

• Mandible fractures are common injuries resulting from trauma.
• Surgical intervention is often required for proper healing and functional restoration.
• Internal fixation with bone plates is a widely used technique.

Purpose of the Study:

• To evaluate the success rate of internal fixation for mandible fractures.
• To assess the morbidity associated with bone plate fixation in mandible fractures.
• To analyze outcomes in patients treated with bone plates for mandibular fractures.

Main Methods:

• Retrospective study design.
• Analysis of 35 patients with 43 mandible fractures.
• Treatment involved internal fixation using bone plates.

Main Results:

• High degree of success reported for the procedure.
• Low rate of morbidity observed in the patient cohort.
• Bone plate fixation effectively managed mandibular fractures.

Conclusions:

• Internal fixation with bone plates is a successful treatment modality for mandible fractures.
• The technique is associated with minimal complications.
• This method offers a favorable outcome for patients with mandibular fractures.
