Comparison of Conventional 2.0 mm Non-Locking and Locking Miniplates in Management of Fracture Mandible

Dog bite injury frequently occurs in children, and many of these bites involve the facial region. On the other hand, facial fractures due to dog attacks are a rare complication, with the orbital, nasal, and maxillary bones most often affected. We present a case report of a child who suffered a double facial fracture, mandible and left zygoma, due to a dog bite. The clinical diagnosis was supported by X-rays and computed tomography, which also provided information about the characteristics of the fracture. Internal fixation was done with titanium miniplates. Finally, the pathophysiological mechanism and the biomechanics of the fracture, as well as the use of resorbable versus nonresorbable material on infants, are discussed.

Introduction- Trauma from external causes poses one of the greatest challenges for public health services in different parts of the world. Maxillofacial fractures are the most common outcome of trauma. Several factors which are contributing to these can be managed well after careful examination of the clinical profile of the patients. Aim - This study was done to find the clinical profile of maxilla facial fractures in a tertiary care hospital in Uttar Pradesh. Materials and methods -A retrospective study was conducted in Department of Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, SRMS IMS from May 2016 - October 2018. Medical records of 53 patients in and around west Uttar Pradesh with maxillofacial injuries admitted in our hospital were studied. Results –Males in age group in 20-40 yr were mostly involved in RTA which was most common cause of fmaxillofacial injuries. Fracture mandible was the most commonly fractured bone. Conclusion - There has to be strict regulations installed by the government to ensure compliance of rules regarding use of seat belts while driving and use of helmet while riding two-wheeler. Better compliance of traffic rules is an important factor in reducing the incidents of this trauma. KEYWORDS -Maxillofacial trauma, RTA , Fracture mandible
