Özet
Aim: This study aims to present the fracture types and treatment methods
of jaw fracture cases that presented at our center.
Methodology: Of six presenting cases, two were angulus, one was
parasymphysis, three were subcondylar, and one was a medial condyle
fracture only. All patients were evaluated both clinically and radiologically
by CT of the atlanto-occipital joint. We managed two of the mandibular
fractures with open and closed reduction (mixed) and four with closed
reduction only. Dislocation was observed in only two patients. Internal
fixation was performed using either mini plates (Medartis, Basel,
Switzerland) or mini-screws. All cases united within three weeks to three
months.
Results: After analyzing the epidemiology of six fractures and the
outcomes of the surgical treatment, as well as assessing the complications
related to the surgical procedures, it was determined that in cases with
dislocation, bimaxillary fixation should be applied as a maintenance to
open reduction therapy. In cases without dislocation, bimaxillary fixation
only is sufficient.
Conclusion: An analysis of dislocation conditions according to fracture
type supports that the incidence of dislocation is low in condyle fractures.
