Lalatendu Swain, Prabhat Nalini Routray

Abstract :

Introduction :The maxillofacial region is prone to injuries and fractures due to its protruding anatomical feature. The frequency of fracture around the mandibular region is higher than that of the other parts of the body.

Objective: This study was undertaken to study various aspects of mandibular fractures clinically and radiologically.

Materials and Methods: The study was conducted during the period from may 2016 to april 2018 on patients presented with facio–maxillary injury to the tertiary trauma care Ashwini Hospital, Cuttack, Odisha, India. Patients with mandibular fractures are included in the study.

Results :In this retrospective cross sectional study we analysed 95 patients presented with facio–maxillary injury with fracture mandible. Males sustained significantly more injuries as compared to females.

Conclusion: Use of seat belt, helmet and reduction in drunken driving has shown to reduce maxillofacial trauma.
