THE CLINICAL APPROACH
• Complies with the ATLS protocol.
• Presence of overt facial injuries is indicative of:
• The forces of the injury
• Possibility of airway compromise, cervical spine injury, and CNS injury.
• Address and manage these problems first!
• Airway compromise: e.c. excessive bleeding from upper airway source, foreign
body, or direct laryngeal injury.
• Bleeding in head and neck area: secure airway!
• CNS injury: stabilized first before continuing to facial fracture repair.

BIOMECHANICS OF THE MANDIBLE
• The mandible is a hoop of bone that deforms with movement based on the origin and
insertion of the muscles of mastication
• The superior border of the mandible is the tension zone and the inferior border is the
compression zone.
https://www2.aofoundation.org
MANDIBLE FRACTURE
Anamnesis:
• Complaint of malocclusion after trauma is a reliable indication of a mandible fracture
• Obtain complete history of trauma mechanism
• Because of the constant motion of the lower jaw in normal daily function, mandible
fractures tend to be painful until stabilized
• Patient may complain paresthesia or numbness on the lower lip and chin

SYMPHYSIS AND PARASYMPHYSIS FRACTURE
https://www2.aofoundation.org
SYMPHYSIS AND PARASYMPHYSIS FRACTURE
• Treatment of simple mandibular fracture:
1. Closed treatment (MMF)
• MMF is indicated for non- or minimally displaced simple fractures in compliant patients with good
dentition.
• Open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) is usually the method of choice for simple symphyseal
fractures in order to avoid the drawbacks and inconveniences of MMF in the majority of patients.
2. ORIF
• Open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) is usually the method of choice for simple symphyseal
fractures in order to avoid the drawbacks and inconveniences of MMF in the majority of patients.
• It is recommended in all unstable fractures and noncompliant patients.
