“…The study conducted by Omeje et al in a group of 56 people with a broken mandible showed that patients qualified for ORIF (Open Reduction and Internal Fixation) treatment reported higher values in the Bodily Pain domain, whereas patients treated with Maxillo-Mandibular Fixation indicated higher values in the physical and psychosocial domains [40]. Another study by Omeje et al was an analysis of quality of life after treatment of fractures in the mandible.…”

Maxillofacial fractures (MFF) belong to the major modern medicine and public health concerns. The recovery from MFF is associated with a number of social problems. The patient’s mood may be affected by the change in self-image and lack of satisfaction with life, in many cases leading to a deepening of mental health disorders, resulting in alcoholism, loss of job or conflicts in the area of family life. The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of life of patients with MFF, with respect to demographic and medical variables. The mean age of the 227 patients was 36 years. The mandible was the most frequent MFF location (52.9%), followed by the zygomatic bone (30.8%) then the maxilla (16.3%). Bone fracture displacement occurred in 79.3% of patients. A comminuted fracture was found in 71% of patients. The quality of life of patients with MFF was significantly better in all analyzed domains 3 months after the end of hospitalization compared to the initial survey carried out shortly after implementation of the treatment. Among the demographic variables, older age had a statistically significant but weak positive association with the improvement of the quality of life of respondents in General health perception domain.

“…Closed method is still used today due to the advantage of elastic traction which helps successful repositioning of the fragments and its low cost. Arch bars, IVY loops, and intermaxillary fixation screws are all well-known appliances for closed reduction methods [17].…”

The mandibular bone is an important component of the facial bone, which has a unique role in digestive system, speech, and facial esthetics. For these important functions of mandibular bone, it is vital that surgeons should not only treat function but also consider the esthetics together. Mandibular fractures are among the most common traumatic injuries of the maxillofacial region. Even though treatment modalities are well established and being practiced for a long time, untreated and postoperative complications still decrease the patient's quality of life. This chapter aims to describe the cause, clinical presentations, diagnoses, and current treatment methods on the basis of resent literature.

“…Open reduction and internal fixation involves the use of wires, plates and other hard-wares placed directly across the fractured site by means of surgical access. 10 Treatment of mandible fractures with a closed reduction method is referred to as non-surgical treatment, while the fracture treatment performed without surgical procedures by manual repositioning of the fragment, gradual repositioning of the teeth and immobilization of the jaw using intermaxillary fixation (IMF), is commonly termed maxillomandibular fixation (MMF). 11 In order to achieve optimum results, the management of neglected mandible fractures with large displacement is ideally performed using open reduction internal fixation (ORIF).…”

Background: The mandible is one of the bones most affected by facial fractures commonly resulting from trauma to the face. The ultimate goal of treatment is to re-establish the pre-injury dental occlusion (bite), mandibular anatomy and jaw function of the patient. Treatment approaches range from conservative non-invasive management by ’closed’ reduction and immobilization using intermaxillary fixation (IMF) to the more invasive surgery-based ’open’ reduction incorporating an internal fixation approach. Purpose: The purpose of this case series was to describe the close reduction method as a form of treatment in cases of neglected mandibular fracture. Cases: Four cases of single or multiple mandibular fracture were presented. Case management: All of the cases were managed using a closed reduction method and IMF. Conclusion: A closed reduction method in this case series produced encouraging results and could be considered an alternative in the treatment of neglected mandibular fractures with displacement.
