“…Common complications described are mandibular asymmetry, temporomandibular joint pain, dysocclusion, (transient) facial nerve paresis, wound infection, osteosynthesis failure and pseudarthrosis (Burm and Hansen, 2010;Chen et al, 2011;Ellis, 1998;Marker et al, 2000;Park et al, 2010;Seemann et al, 2010a;Seemann et al, 2011). The need for a secondary operative intervention is rare but sometimes necessary, mainly to correct a dysocclusion.…”

“…Jaw fractures include fractures of mandible and maxilla which can occur as a result of blunt trauma such as being punched or hit with an object or when the front of the face smashes against an immovable object as occurs in a road traffic accident or in a fall from a height. These fractures are generally never left unnoticed because they are painful, worsening with mastication and speech movements and if left untreated may cause facial asymmetry [1][2][3][4].…”

Introduction: To date, no epidemiological studies on jaw fracture have examined its characteristics according to hospital status (public vs private). The aim of this study was to examine their differences in terms of patient-and injury-related variables. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted using patients' medical records in 2 types of hospital located in the northern area of Brittany (France). All patients hospitalized for jaw fracture between 2006 and 2017 were eligible. Comparisons between centres according to age, gender, anatomic location of fracture, mechanism of injury, and length of stay were undertaken using x 2 , Fisher exact test, t-test, and Cochrane-Armitage trend test. Results: A total of 142 patients were included: 45.1% in the public and 54.9% in the private hospitals. Of them, 84.5% were men and the mean age was 32.0. Main causes of fractures were assault (56.3%), fall (30.3%) and road traffic accident (10%). A small number of patients had polytrauma (4.2%). The mean duration of stay was less than 2 days. Compared to patients who were admitted in private hospital, those who were likely to be admitted in public hospital were those: who had a jaw fracture in context of road traffic accident (18.8% vs 2.6%), with polytrauma (9.4% vs 0.0%) and maxilla fracture (9.4% vs 1.3%), and who had a longer stay (2.2 vs 1.1 days).

“…The incidence of locoregional postoperative complications in mandibular fractures ranges between 7% and 29% 13,14 . The most frequently reported complications in literature are infections, surgical wounds dehiscence, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, malocclusion and nerve dysfunctions 15–17 …”

Mandibular fractures are the second most common maxillofacial fractures. The prevalent treatment for this kind of fractures is either a surgical procedure such as maxillomandibular fixation or open reduction and internal fixation or a combination of both. Sometimes the patients might develop locoregional postoperative complications. The most frequently reported complications are trigeminal V3 injury and surgical site infection. A 4-year retrospective study was performed at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Policlinico Umberto I of Rome, Italy, and the postoperative complications after mandibular fracture surgical treatment were collected. The authors studied the characteristics of each complication and the correlation with the type of mandibular fracture and the surgical treatment chosen.
