A rare case of bilateral mandibular condylar fractures associated with bilateral external auditory canal fractures and otorrhagia is reported. The more severe external auditory canal fracture was present on the side of high condylar fracture, and the less severe external auditory canal fracture was ipsilateral to the condylar neck fracture. A mechanism of injury is proposed to account for such ...

UNLABELLED Mandibular fracture is the second most common facial fracture and there has been a significant increase in number of cases in the last years. Misidentification and inadequate treatment can take to permanent aesthetic or functional deformity. AIM Evaluate cases of mandibular fracture reduction in the Hospital of Clinics of the Federal University of Uberlândia, from January of 1974 t...

Mandible is the second most common facial fracture. There has been a significant increase in the number of cases in recent years with the advent of fast moving automobiles. Mandibular fractures constitute a substantial proportion of maxillofacial trauma cases in Lucknow. This study was undertaken to study mandibular fractures clinicoradiologically with an aim to calculate incidence and study pa...

OBJECTIVE To estimate the relative risk of mandibular angle fractures among people with a lower third molar compared with those without a lower third molar. METHODS Data for a case-control meta-analysis were obtained by performing a literature search in MEDLINE and EMBASE to identify suitable observational studies. To be included, studies had to present data on patients with mandibular fractu...

Chapter 2: " Aetiology and incidence of maxillofacial trauma in Amsterdam: A retrospective analysis of 579 patients. " All patients treated in the VU University Medical Center (Amsterdam), for maxillofacial trauma, were identified retrospectively (period 2000-2010). A total of 579 patients were identified (408 men and 171 women), with a mean age of 35.9 ± 16.3 years. Mandibular and zygomatic bo...

Mandibular fractures are common facial injuries [1-3]. The prognosis of these fractures is influenced by many confounding variables which directly or indirectly determine their treatment outcomes [4-7]. There is no consensus in the literature on the most prevalent factors associated with post-operative complications due to the treatments of mandibular fractures. The treatment of these fractures...

The aim of the study is to analyze the effectiveness of rigid internal fixation (RIF) for treating edentulous mandibular fractures. Because of the low incidence of fractures in edentulous mandible, there is no consensus of the optimal treatment for it. This study included all edentulous patients with mandibular fracture diagnosis, who were treated with internal fixation at the Hospital Italiano...
