“…We found that 128 (38.5%) cases had combined fracture, which is consistent with the study of Sirimaharaj and Pyungtanasup [5] and Park and Lim [6] who reported the incidence of combined fracture to be 41.4% and 36.7%, respectively. The most common combined fracture was parasymphysis and angle (15.4%), followed by parasymphysis and condyle (12.6%), which is consistent with the report of Park and Lim [6], while the study from Parkland Memorial Hospital found that the most common combined fracture was parasymphysis and condyle (15%), followed by parasymphysis and angle (8%) [19]. This might be the result of different causes of injuries.…”

Background: Maxillofacial injury is a common injury in trauma patients. The incidence, associated injuries and causes have been never reported for King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital (KCMH). Objectives: To report the incidence, associated injuries, age groups, treatments, and behavioral risks in maxillofacial patients who were admitted to KCMH in the past decade. Methods: We conducted a retrospective descriptive analysis of patients from January 1, 2006, to December 31, 2015, to evaluate the age groups, causes, sites of facial bone fracture, associated injuries, treatments, and behavioral risks. Results: There were 1,275 patients (79% male and 21% female). The most common age group was 21-30 years (30.6%), followed by 11-20 years (19.5%) and 31-40 years (18.8%). The most common cause of injury was motorcycle accident (39.7%), and the most common associated injury was head injury (58%). The total number of fractures were 1,526, with the most common fracture site being the zygomaticomaxillary complex (38.6%), followed by mandible (21.8%) and nasal bone (17.8%). Most fractures were treated using open reduction and internal fixation with plates and screws. Conclusions:The main cause of maxillofacial injury is motorcycle accident even though the government launched a policy named "Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011-2020" to reduce road traffic deaths. Thailand continues to need stronger law enforcement to reduce risky motorcycle driving behavior.

“…Morris et al 3 reported that the The mandibular angle is the 2 nd most frequent site of mandibular fracture accounts for about 25.0% to 31.0% and it also has the highest rate of complications [5][6] . In this direction, King et al 7 showed that when co-exist two mandible fractures, the body was a third more prevalent area of fracture, after parasymphysis and condylar process.…”

Background: Simple mandibular angle fracture can occur in different group of people due to different etiology. Objective: The purpose of the present study was to find out the demographic characteristics and etiology of simple mandibular angle fracture. Methodology: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Dhaka Dental College & Hospital, Dhaka and Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka, Bangladesh from January 2010 to December 2010 for a period of one (01) year. Among all patients admitted/attended to the hospital IPD or OPD with fracture of mandibular angle with or without other associated fracture sites were selected as study subjects. The details of demographics characteristics and etiology of fracture were recorded. Result: A total number of 30 patients were recruited for this study. Majority of the respondents 21(70%) were male and rest 09(30%) were female. Mean age of the patients was 29.5±6.795 years. Among the 30 respondents 46.7% had history of Road Traffic Accident, 43.3% due to assault and only 10% for other causes. Conclusion: In conclusion the most common etiology of mandibular angle fracture is road traffic accident. Male and younger adult are frequently encounter the mandibular angle fracture.
