“…This was well illustrated by different reports from different countries (Mwaniki & Guthua, 1990;Vetter et al;Hill et al, 1998;Kruger et al, 2006;Fasola et al, 2003a;Bakardjiev & Pechalova, 2007) with peak incidence between the ages of 20 to 30 years (Chambers & Scully, 1987;Allan & Daly, 1990;Adi et al;Rix et al, 1991;Bataineh;Bochlogyros, 1998;Ma'aita;Oji;Brasileiro & Passeri, 2006;Kadkhodaie, 2006) (Table II).…”

SUMMARY:The aim of the present study was to examine the changes in the pattern of maxillofacial fractures between developed and developing countries over two time periods; (1987-1999) and (2000-2007). A comprehensive search of the literature using PubMed was conducted for publications on maxillofacial injuries published during the last 20 years. Only 45 articles met the inclusion criteria and the full-texts of these articles were thoroughly examined. For each of the included studies, different parameters were recorded. Calculated "weighed" percentages of each parameter across the total number of all patients were performed. The mandible was the most frequently fractured facial bone (57%). In the total period, the mean age of patients with facial fractures was 24.4 years and the incidence of facial fractures was higher in males (81.3%) than in females. The male to female ratio of patients with facial fractures was greater in developing countries (5.1:1.0) than that in developed countries (3.7:1.0) in the total period. Road traffic accident-related injuries had significantly decreased in developed countries and increased in developing countries over the two periods. However, assault-related facial injuries had significantly increased in developed countries and decreased in developing countries over the two periods. The body of the mandible was the most common mandibular fracture site (27.2%). It was concluded that mandibular fractures are more common than middle third injuries of the facial skeleton. Most patients affected by facial fractures in different countries were young adult males.

“…15 Because of social, cultural, and environmental factors the causes of maxillofacial fractures vary. 16 In a five year prospective study by Motamedi et al 17 and six month prospective study by Kamulegeya et al, 18 the most common fracture found was mandibular fracture, however, maxilla and maxillary sinus was the most common middle third facial region fracture.…”

Background & Objectives:The maxillofacial r egion, a complex anatomical structure, can be evaluated by conventional (plain) films, Tomography, Multidetector Computed Tomography, Three-Dimensional Computed Tomography, Orthopantomogram and Magnetic Resonance Imaging. The study was conducted with objective of describing various forms of maxillofacial injuries, imaging features of different types of maxillofacial fractures and the advantage of using Three-Dimensional Computed Tomography reconstructed image. Materials & Methods: A hospital based cross-sectional study was conducted among 50 patients during April 2014 to September 2016 using Toshiba Aquilion Prime 160 slice Multi Detector Computed Tomography scanner. Results: The maxillofacial fractures were significantly higher in male population (88%) than female population (12 %). Road traffic accidents were the most common cause of injury others being physical assault and fall from height. It was most common in 31-40 years (26%) and 21-30 (24%) years age group. Maxillary sinus was the commonest fracture (36%) followed by nasal bone and zygomatic bone (30%), mandible and orbital bones (28%). Soft tissue swelling was the commonest associated finding. Three dimensional images (3 D) compared to the axial scans missed some fractures. However, the extension of the complex fracture lines and degree of displacement were more accurately assessed. Complex fractures found were Le fort (6%) and naso-orbito-ethmoid (4%) fractures. Conclusion: The proper evaluation of complex anatomy of the facial bones requires Multidetector Computed Tomography which offers excellent spatial resolution enabling multiplanar reformations and three dimensional reconstructions for enhanced diagnostic accuracy and surgical planning.

“…Champy et al did not advocate the usage of such IMF procedures pre-operatively, intraoperatively or postoperatively [4,11]. Some authors however believe that performing inter-maxillary fixation (IMF) with arch bars and wires will always be the best way to guarantee occlusional integrity during fracture plating.…”

“…Rix et al [11] followed Champy's principle, but used a modification for parasymphysis fractures in close proximity to the mental nerve. Instead of two miniplates, only one was placed above the foramen and supplemented with loop wiring which included two or more teeth on either side of the fracture line with satisfactory results.…”

To compare long term and short term outcomes of fixing mandibular symphysis and parasymphysis fractures with single mini plate and conventional fixation using two mini plates. Study design: in this prospective clinical comparative study, 30 patients with fracture in study region were randomly divided into two groups. Group A patients received single 2.5 mm titanium miniplate and Group B patients received two 2 mm titanium miniplates as per Champy's lines of osteosynthesis. Patients were followed up at intervals of 1, 12 and 24 weeks. Parameters assessed were: duration of surgery, fracture stabilization, paresthesia, occlusion and wound dehiscence. Statistically significant difference was observed in mean duration of surgery and wound dehiscence (P \ 0.05). No significant difference was observed with respect to other parameters. Single 2.5 mm miniplate for mandibular symphysis and parasymphysis fractures is a time saving and cost effective technique with post-operative outcomes similar to conventional 2 plate fixation.
