Aim: The aim of the study was to analyse the incidence, etiology, and localization of mandibular fractures treated in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Govt. Dental College & Hospital, Rajeev Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, Kadapa. Materials and Methods: The medical records of 218 patients with mandibular fractures, treated between 1 January 2015 and 31 December 2017, were reviewed and the following data were analysed: age, gender, etiology, fracture area and treatment. Results: The male: female ratio was 3.9: 1. The majority of patients (55.96%) were young people, aged 11-30 years. The main cause of mandibular fractures was Road traffic accidents (RTAs) (73.85%) followed by falls (20.64%) and assaults (4.59%). The most common fracture area was parasymphysis (26.61%) followed by mandibular angle (11.47%) and condylar process fractures (11.01%). Closed reduction was done in 25.68% of patients, open reduction and internal fixation was performed in 72.93% of cases, while 1.37% of them were treated conservatively. Conclusions: The presented results are in line with other studies. The present study highlights the importance of strict enforcement of traffic regulations, assessment and development of preventive schemes to reduce the incidence of Road traffic accidents. Keywords: Maxillofacial Trauma, Road traffic accidents, Mandibular Fractures.
An Epidemiological Study on Pattern and Incidence of Mandibular Fractures
Plastic Surgery International, 2012
Mandible is the second most common facial fracture. There has been a significant increase in the number of cases in recent years with the advent of fast moving automobiles. Mandibular fractures constitute a substantial proportion of maxillofacial trauma cases in Lucknow. This study was undertaken to study mandibular fractures clinicoradiologically with an aim to calculate incidence and study pattern and the commonest site of fractures in population in and around Lucknow. Patient presenting with history of trauma at various centers of maxillofacial surgery in and around Lucknow were included in this study. Detailed case history was recorded followed by thorough clinical examination, and radiological interpretation was done for establishing the diagnosis and the data obtained was analyzed statistically. Out of 66 patients with mandibular fractures, highest percentage was found in 21-30 years of age with male predominance. Road traffic accidents were the most common cause of fracture with parasymphysis being commonest site. Commonest combination was parasymphysis with subcondyle. There was no gender bias in etiology with number of fracture sites. The incidence and causes of mandibular fracture reflect trauma patterns within the community and can provide a guide to the design of programs geared toward prevention and treatment.
Mandibular Fractures and Associated Factors at a Tertiary Care Hospital
Archives of Trauma Research, 2016
Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the distribution, etiology and type of mandibular fractures in subjects referred to our institution. Methods: A retrospective study of 689 subjects, during the period from May 2010 to September 2013 with mandibular fractures was conducted. Information on age, gender, mechanism of injury and sites of trauma was obtained from the trauma registry. Data were tabulated and analyzed statistically. Results: A total of 653 subjects had mandibular fractures, out of which 574 were males. The mean age of the participants was 31.54 ± 13.07. The majority of the subjects were between 21-40 years of age, in both males (61.7%) and females (54.4%). The major cause of fractures was road traffic accidents (87.4%) followed by fall (6.9%) and assault (4%), with the least frequent being gunshot injuries (0.3%). Almost half of the patients had parasymphysis fractures (50.2%), followed by angle (24.3%), condyle (20.4%), ramus (2.3%) and coronoid (2%). A total of 115 patients had bilateral fractures out of which 29 had parasymphysis, 12 had body fractures and 74 had bilateral condylar fractures. Double mandibular fractures were reported in 193 subjects; out of which 151 subjects had double contralateral and 42 had double unilateral fractures. Triple unilateral fracture was reported in only one subject. A total of 338 subjects had multiple fractures among the study population. Conclusions: Mandibular fractures can be complicated and demanding, and have a compelling impact on patients' quality of life. Our study reported that parasymphysis was the most common region involved in mandible fractures.
Fractures of the mandible: a 20-year retrospective analysis of 753 patients
Turkish Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery, 2013
The craniofacial region is one of the most frequently injured parts of the body, and mandibular fracture is one of the commonest facial skeletal injuries. The most frequent causes of mandibular fractures are the traumas related to traffic accidents, falls, interpersonal violence, and sports activities, etc. METHODS Seven hundred fifty-three cases (615 male, 138 female; megan age 36.2 years) (age >16) with mandibular fracture were evaluated retrospectively. Patient records were examined in terms of age, sex, etiology, seasonal variation, fracture localization, accompanying traumas, treatment modality, and postoperative complications. RESULTS Traffic accidents were the most common etiologic cause in all age groups and both sexes. All cases had a total of 1090 fractures, and the most common fracture localization was the parasymphysis (28.6%), followed by the condyle, corpus, angulus, symphysis, dentoalveolar process, ramus, and coronoid process, respectively. In 25 (3.3%) patients with fissurelike, non-displaced fracture, only symptomatic treatment was applied. Closed reduction with elastic bandage, arch bar, quick-fix screws or Ivy Loop was the only method performed in 280 (37.2%) patients. Osteosynthesis by open reduction and internal fixation (miniplates, screws or transosseous wiring) was performed in 403 (53.5%) patients; closed reduction techniques were also performed in 134 of these patients. CONCLUSION In the recent years, double-road constructions, increased traffic audits and regulation of the traffic rules decreased the incidence of mandibular fractures.
Review of 509 mandibular fractures treated at the University Hospital, Alexandria, Egypt
British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2006
Mandibular fracture is one of the most common facial skeletal injuries. Although its main causes are road crashes and violence, the relation between these causes varies from one country to another. We made a retrospective study of the medical records and radiographs of 509 patients treated for mandibular fracture at the University of Alexandria Hospital between 1991 and 2000. The data that we collected included age, sex, aetiology, date of injury, anatomical site of the fracture, associated maxillofacial trauma, and treatment. The prevalence of mandibular fractures was higher in male subjects in all age groups, and the male:female ratio was 3.6:1. Most fractures were sustained by men in the age group 21-30 years and girls between 0 and 10 years, and the monthly incidence was constant. Road crashes were the main cause, followed by falls and assaults. Fractures of the angle were the most common (22%) followed by parasymphyseal fractures (21%) and the lowest was in the coronoid region (1%).
Background: The mandible is the biggest and the main bone occupying the lower third of the face, and it is prone to fracture because of its prominence. Fracture of the mandible is more common in some major parts such as, the angle, the canine region, and the condylar neck due to its weakness in those regions. Objective: To analyse the aetiology and presentation pattern of mandibular fractures at the State Dental Hospital in Maiduguri Methods: This was a retrospective-prospective descriptive study approved by the Ethical Review Board of Borno State Ministry of Health. A total number of 956 facial fracture cases, which included both old cases retrieved from the record book and new cases seen during the period under review, was recorded. Out of this total, 252 mandibular fracture cases were seen during the seven-year period at the State Dental Hospital in Maiduguri. The patients seen were examined clinically and radiographically by a team of three independent dental surgeons after calibration was done by a consultant oral and maxillofacial surgeon. All patients and cases included in the study were properly briefed and informed consent taken prior to carrying out the study. Results: A total of 956 facial fractures were recorded: 252 cases were mandibular fractures, accounting for a prevalence 26.4%. Males accounted for 76.2% and females 23.8% with a male to female ratio of 3.2:1. Age range was 11-60yrs with a mean age of 27.7yrs. Those aged 21-30yrs showed the highest level of distribution in the sampled cases, and most of the fractures occurred on weekends, especially Friday which accounted for 34.4% of cases. The major aetiology of most fracture is road traffic accident in 122(48.8%) cases and the body (44.8%) of the mandible was noted as the most commonly affected site. Conclusion: Although road traffic accident appeared to be the major aetiology of mandibular fracture in this study, a substantial part of assault related causes are due to blast related injuries to the mandible. The age distribution, sex, location and treatment modalities still remain the same.
