Sažetak
In order to analyse the characteristics of the patients suffering from
mandibular fractures and to test the succsess of the treatment, we retrospectively investigated patients with the fracture of the mandible, hospitalized in the period between January 1, 1984. and July 31, 1985. It has been shown that 196 patients had 281 fractures, predominantly in the corpus area of the mandible, 121 (43, 1°/o), followed by the condylar process, 68 (24, 2%), while the alveolar process was the least frequently affected, 7 (2, 5%). Almost with equal frequency, traffic (33,7%) and physical violence (31,03%) were
responsible for the fractures. The third decade appeared to be the most dangerous age with 40,3%. In 51% of the patients the conservative treatment was performed, while wire osteosynthesis was applied in 67 patients. Altogether, there were 26 (13,3%) patients with complications, among which a very high percentage, 30% for standard plate and 50% for AO plate, stands out. Results show that the mandibular fractures are still frequent; that the conservative treatment is satisfactory for most of the fractures, and that the plate osteosynthesis should be done only in strictly indicated cases.
