Mandibular Fractures Epidemiology and Treatment Plans in the Center of Italy: A Retrospective Study

This study showed that mandibular fractures predominate in 20 to 29 years group and in the male sex. Assaults are the most frequent cause. The prevalent fracturing site is condylar process. Orbital – maxillary – zygomatic complex fractures were the most common associated maxillofacial fractures and open reduction and internal fixation was the preferred surgical strategy. The results of this analysis agree to other studies and provide important clinical information that will help in study of these injuries.
