Study Notes
Mandibular Fracture Fixation
- Horizontally favorable fracture lines resist upward displacement from muscles like the masseter and temporalis.
- Three surgical approaches for mandibular body fractures: intraoral, extraoral, or combined access.
- Monocortical screws reduce damage to structures like the inferior alveolar canal and root apices compared to transosseous wires or plates.
- Infection after fracture requires immediate extraction.
Complications of Mandibular Fractures
- Early complications: misplaced fixation, damage to structures within the mandible.
- Increased risk of infection in patients with diabetes and alcoholism.
- Most infections are mild, presenting with intraoral swelling and discomfort.
- TMJ ankylosis is a potential complication, restricting jaw movement and potentially inhibiting growth.
