Mandible Fractures

Mandible fractures are often caused by blunt or penetrating trauma and are one of the most common facial fractures. It is critical to understand facial and mandibular anatomy to best evaluate, classify, and treat mandible fractures. The primary goal of treatment is to restore the jaw to the preinjury occlusion. This can be achieved through open reduction with internal fixation or closed reduction with maxillomandibular fixation (MMF) in conjunction with dietary changes and/or physiotherapy. The main risks and concerns in mandible fracture management are infection, malunion, airway compromise, pain, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction. This chapter will provide a brief overview of facial and mandibular anatomy as well as common treatment methods and surgical interventions.  This review contains 17 figures, 2 tables, and 43 references Key words: Mandibular fracture, maxillomandibular fixation, occlusion, malunion, closed reduction, open reduction, TMJ dysfunction

Condylar Fractures

The surgical treatment of mandibular condylar fractures represents one of the most discussed topics in maxillofacial trauma surgery. Over the years the literature has documented an increasing attitude towards open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of these fractures. Some authors have recently increased the indications for ORIF to include intra-articular fractures, which have historically been managed conservatively1,2,3. The authors present their experience in the surgical treatment of intra-articular condylar fractures over a period of five years, from 2009 to 2014. Surgical techniques, early and delayed complica-tions, clinical and radiological outcomes and comparison with conservative treatment are discussed. Keywords: Mandibular Fracture, Condylar Fracture, Trauma.

Indications For Use

Open reduction and internal fixation of mandibular fractures by intraosseous wiring in conjunction with intermaxillary fixation remains the mainstay of mandibular fracture treatment despite the availability of newer methods. The principles of treatment are reviewed, including indications for use of this technique and its advantages and disadvantages. Various surgical techniques are also reviewed and key points in their application emphasized.
