ABSTRACT The management of mandibular fractures has evolved tremendously in the last few decades. Open reduction and internal fixation with malleable monocortical titanium plates is the standard technique worldwide. The paper reviews the current concept of mandibular fracture and discusses various method and modification for different sites and clinical situations. It also covers the treatment of pediatric and geriatric mandibular fractures. How to cite this article Rai S, Rattan V. Current Perspective in the Management of Mandibular Fractures.

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.

The fracture of the comminuted type has a prevalence of 30 to 50 % when related to the affecting mandibular bone. They are characterized by the presence of multiple bone involving several lines of fracture, resulting in small fragments within the same area. Treatment modalities for the management of comminuted mandibular fractures include closed reduction, external pin fixation, internal wire fixation, and open reduction and internal fixation using miniplates, titanium mesh tray and screws. The following case report highlights open reduction and internal fixation of a comminuted mandibular fracture in a 24-year-old male patient. The patient treated with open reduction and with a reconstruction plate followed by a short period of maxillomandibular fixation.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> A great deal of work has been directed toward using these symptoms to classify the severity of head injury. Loss of consciousness or coma and posttraumatic amnesia (difficulty in remembering new information after waking up from the coma) are the two most common symptoms used. A mild head injury is one in which the period of unconsciousness is less than twenty minutes and post traumatic amnesia lasts for less than one hour, while a head injury in which the person is unconscious for at least one day and experiences post traumatic amnesia for more than twenty four hours is considered severe<span lang="EN-IN">. </span></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> 50 Cases coming to O.P.D and casualty of Chigateri general hospital and Bapuji hospital attached to JJM Medical College, Davangere were studied<span lang="EN-IN">.  </span></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> Evidence of C.S.F rhinorrhoea was noticed in 1(2%) case which managed conservatively. Maxillary fracture was noticed in 05 (10%) cases which were managed conservatively. Zygomatic fractures were noticed in 07 (14%) cases which were managed by open reduction and internal fixation with mini plates under general anesthesia<span lang="EN-IN">. </span></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Mandibular fractures were noticed in 10 (20%) of cases which were managed by open reduction and internal fixation with mini plates under general anesthesia<span lang="EN-IN">.</span></p>
