Incidence and patterns of mandibular fractures during a 5-year period in a London teaching hospital

Five-Year Analysis of Mandible Fracture and its Associated Factors

“…However, the most affected age group in our study was the 10 to 19 years age group. This finding was consistent with our previous study [12], but in contrast to others studies that had the peak age group of 20 to 29 years and above [1,[8][9][10][11][13][14][15][16][17]. Male patients were generally more active in outdoor and social activities.…”

“…Gender distribution of recent studies was similar, with male preponderance; ratio male to female can range from 4:1 to 6:1 [1,[9][10][11]. However, the most affected age group in our study was the 10 to 19 years age group.…”

“…This is also the most common cause of mandibular fracture in the studies of other countries [1,6,9,[20][21][22][23][24]. Intentional injury and falls were the second common causes of mandibular fracture in the present study; in contrast to other studies which had shown falls [10,25] or intentional injury/violence [8,11,16,17] as the most common. The difference in the main cause of injury is largely dependent on the cities where studied were conducted, as well as, the population.…”

Pattern of Maxillofacial Injuries in University Hospital of Bhubaneswar: A Retrospective Study

“…Studies by Rashid A et al 34 , and ZixJA et al 35 have found the body of the mandible, angle of the mandible or condyle and subcondyle to be the most common sites of fracture. In our study, in middle third fractures, ZMC (38.2 %) was most commonly involved.…”
