Before any definitive treatment of mandibular fractures, the patient needs to be evaluated for more potentially life-threatening injuries. Complications can and do occur with treatment of mandibular fractures and can occur during any of the...

Oral and maxillofacial surgeons must constantly weigh the risks of surgical intervention for pediatric mandible fractures against the wonderful healing capacity of children. The majority of pediatric mandibular fractures can be managed with...

Edentulous or atrophic mandible fractures are rare and potentially problematic for the oral and maxillofacial surgeon. With the loss of teeth, atrophy of the alveolar bony apparatus ensues, creating a mandible more prone to fracture. This a...

Endoscopic-assisted open reduction/internal fixation of mandibular condylar fractures is a viable alternative to traditional closed or open reduction techniques. However, case selection is important. Ideally, the fracture undergoing EAORIF ...

Management of condylar fractures remains a source of ongoing controversy. While it appears that many condylar fractures can be managed nonsurgically, recognition of cases that require surgical intervention and selection of an appropriate pr...

External fixation of mandible fractures is a useful technique when an open treatment is contraindicated because of extensive comminution, bone or soft tissue loss, and infection. This technique can also be used temporarily until definitive ...

The goal of bicortical fixation of mandibular fractures is to provide for undisturbed healing and immobility of fragments to facilitate primary bony union. This type of fixation should provide sufficient rigidity for fracture segments to re...

Fixation of mandibular fractures using rigid hardware has gained wide acceptance over the past 3 decades. The goal of rigid internal fixation is to allow for fracture healing with limited, or no, time in maxillo-mandibular fixation. There h...

Many mandibular fractures occur through tooth sockets. The treatment plan for teeth in the line of fracture has evolved through the years because of the development of new antibiotics and fixation techniques. In this article we review the h...
