Mapping The Jawline Breaks: Trends, Causes and Management of Mandible Fracture in Tertiary Care Center
Abstract: Overview: This study aimed to evaluate the patterns, causes, and treatment outcomes of mandibular fractures in patients at a tertiary care center, providing insights into the demographics, fracture sites, and etiological factors involved. Materials and Methods: A prospective, observational study was conducted involving 15 patients aged 18 to 80 years diagnosed with mandibular fractures. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: The study found that 60% of mandibular fractures occurred in males, with the highest incidence in the 18-40 years age group. The Para symphyseal region was the most commonly affected site (53.33%), with road traffic accidents being the leading cause (72.81%). Simple linear fractures were the most frequent type, and closed reduction was the preferred treatment in 60% of cases Discussion: The findings align with global trends, showing a higher prevalence of mandibular fractures in young adult males, primarily due to road traffic accidents. The study emphasized the need for early intervention and highlighted the importance of individualized treatment strategies. Conclusion: This study provides a comprehensive analysis of mandibular fracture patterns, underscoring the importance of targeted prevention and tailored treatment approaches to improve patient outcomes in maxillofacial trauma care.
