Abstract:

Mandibular fractures are among the three most common facial regions, treatment constituting a routine activity in the maxillofacial area. This work is a retrospective study of 10 years of patients with mandibular fracture treated at the Maxillofacial Surgery Regional Hospital General Ignacio Zaragoza ISSSTE, Mexico. During the study period, about 131 cases fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria. A total of 193 fractures with an age range from 1 year to 80, where the variables studied were gender, age, anatomical site affected, number of fractures, etiology, treatment and complications. We find a higher incidence in male, third decade of life, multiple fracture, pbkp_redilection of the mandibular angle with slight inclination to the left side. The short term frequent postoperative complication was infection, which was treated by mechanical irrigation and antibiotic; and long-term complication was plate exposure.
