[Problems of iatrogenic jaw fractures]

Area of Science:

• Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
• Radiology
• Trauma Surgery

Background:

• Iatrogenic jaw fractures are a known complication during surgical interventions.
• Identifying pre-operative risk factors is crucial for preventing these fractures.

Observation:

• Analysis of iatrogenic jaw fractures was performed.
• The study aimed to determine fracture preventability and types.

Findings:

• Most cases exhibit pre-operative indicators for complications.
• Precise diagnostic radiology is key to avoiding iatrogenic jaw fractures.

Implications:

• Enhanced pre-surgical planning can significantly reduce jaw fracture incidence.
• Improved patient outcomes through minimized surgical complications.
• Radiological assessment should be standard for interventions with fracture risk.
