Abstract
Objectives: To describe the epidemiology, clinical features and computed-tomography images of patients diagnosed with mandibular fractures at the Department of Maxillofacial, Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery, Viet Duc University Hospital from July to December 2023. Subjects and methods: A retrospective cross-sectional descriptive study of patients diagnosed with mandibular fractures and treated at the Department of Maxillofacial, Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery, Viet Duc University Hospital from July to December 2023. We collected data from medical records and the data was analysed by SPSS software. Results: 309 patients with 542 mandibular fractures included in the sample, there was a male predominance at 81.23%; the range of age was from 3 to 73 years old and the mean age was 31.43 ± 14.75. A majority of mandibular fractures were caused by road traffic accidents with the incidence of 85.76%. Approximately 3.5% of all cases recorded are alcohol-related. The prevalence of fracture was highest at symphysis and parasymphysis area (35.61% of 542 fractures), followed by condylar fractures (25.46%). 148 patients (47.9%) presented with no accompanying maxillofacial injuries, and 132 (42.7%) admitted to the hospital without any concomitant injuries at other body parts. Conclusion: Mandibular fractures are mainly seen in men, aged 21 to 30, the most common cause is road traffic accidents accounting for 85.76%. The rate of combined injuries is high in both other maxillofacial regions and other organs and parts of the body.
