    Area of Science:

    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Trauma Surgery
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Mandibular fractures present unique challenges in urban settings.
    • A significant portion of patients have a history of prior fractures.
    • Patient-related factors complicate diagnosis and treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze characteristics of mandibular fracture patients in an urban hospital.
    • To identify factors contributing to treatment complications.
    • To recommend management strategies for problem cases.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 110 adult patients with 163 mandibular fractures.
    • Analysis of medical records and X-rays from 1964-1974.
    • Identification of patient demographics, injury causes, and treatment adherence.

    Main Results:

    • Fist blows and intoxication were common causes, complicating diagnosis and treatment.
    • Poor oral hygiene and insufficient dentition affected fixation methods.
    • Nonunion occurred in seven patients, necessitating bone grafting.
    • Patient non-compliance with treatment and follow-up was frequent.

    Conclusions:

    • Urban mandibular fractures often involve complex patient factors.
    • Simplest fixation, minimal surgery, and avoiding extractions are advised.
    • Experience with this cohort aids in managing challenging mandibular fracture cases.
