Incidence and etiology of mandibular fractures treated in Vilnius University Hospital Žalgiris clinic, Lithuania: a review of 1 508 cases

Abstract: The data and findings of this study are compared with other studies, identifying specific mandibular trauma patterns in Lithuania. Background. During past few decades, the socioeconomic situation in Lithuania has been changing significantly, and there is a need to evaluate data about mandibular fracture epidemiology and etiology. The aim of the study was to analyse the incidence, etiology, circumstances and localization of mandibular fractures treated in the

“…Excessive consumption of alcohol is strongly associated with maxillofacial trauma. In the present study, alcohol consumption before the injury was recorded in 17.4% of cases which is in stark contrast to what Sirimaharaj and Pyung Tanas Up reported in their study (Zaleckas et al, 2013;Marimuthu, 2018;Patil, 2017). The mandible is more prone to injury than the zygomatic complex due to its mobility and lesser bony support compared with the maxilla (Subhashraj et al, 2007;Akama, 2008).…”

“…Single fracture divided into two fragments, whereas multiple fractures are mandibular fractures that occur in several places and divided into multiple fragments. 1 The primary goal of mandibular fracture treatment is to restore mandibular anatomy, and function. 1 ORIF mandibular fracture is a surgical intervention to open and conduct a direct exploration of the mandibular fracture area through a surgical incision of the skin or mucosa in order to obtain a direct view of the fractured bone fragment.…”

“…4,5 Road traffic accidents are reported to be the primary causes of mandibular fractures in USA and Pakistan. 6,7 Management of mandibular fractures solely done by Inter-maxillary fixation, or by osteo-synthesis or by combination of both procedures. 8 Intermaxillary fixation is usually done for fracture reduction to reestablish proper occlusion.…”
