Abstract

Objective:To determine the frequency and pattern of mandible fractures in acute trauma patients.
Materials and methods:A cross-sectional was conducted at Oral & maxillofacial surgery Department Hayatabad Medical Complex and Akbar Medical centre Peshawar from April 29th, 2015 to October 28th, 2015 by non-probability convenient sampling. Acute trauma Patients of adult age group with age 19-60 years were included in the study while patients with isolated cases of dentoalveolar, pathological fracture, and iatrogenic fractures were excluded from this study. SPSS version 19 was used for analysing the data.
Results:A total of 168 patients with mandibular fractures were included in the study. Male patients n= 125(69.4%) were more as compared to female n=43(28.6%), and the overall mean age was 29.71 ± 9.55 years. Most of the patients were from age group A(19-40 years) n=147(87.5%). The most common site was body fracture n=57(33.93%) followed in frequency by condylar fractures n=46(27.38%), angle n= 29(17.26%) and parasymphysis n=22(13.09%).The parasymphyseal fracture was more common in
older age group (41-60 years).
Conclusion:Mandibular fractures are the fairly common site of injury in severe trauma. The main victims of this kind of trauma are involvement of young males. There is an abundance of mandibular body fractures which are followed by fractures of the angle and the condyle. Symphyseal and parasymphyseal fractures are the rare one.
