L G Siegel, W L Meyerhoff

    Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America
    |June 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary

    Choosing how to fix a mandibular fracture requires careful surgical consideration. Factors include injury type, forces, surrounding structures, dentition, occlusion, and healing processes.

    Area of Science:

    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Trauma Surgery

    Background:

    • Mandibular fractures present complex treatment decisions.
    • Surgical approach (open vs. closed, intraoral vs. extraoral) is not standardized.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the critical factors influencing the choice of surgical technique for mandibular fracture reduction.
    • To emphasize the surgeon's role in evaluating injury complexity.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of factors influencing surgical decision-making in mandibular fracture management.
    • Analysis of anatomical, biomechanical, and physiological considerations.

    Main Results:

    • Surgical decision-making depends on understanding injury nature, forces, and anatomical relationships.
    • Dentition, occlusion, and healing processes are crucial considerations.
    • Concurrent diseases and associated trauma impact treatment planning.

    Conclusions:

    • Optimal mandibular fracture reduction requires a comprehensive surgical assessment.
    • The surgeon's expertise is paramount in selecting the appropriate intraoral or extraoral technique.
