“…In case of trauma from assault, angle of the mandible was the common site for fracture which is in accordance to other studies [12,17,24,40,46]. This is because as the angle is a weak region due to thinner cross-section and presence of third molar, lateral impact forces enforced on angle region leads to its fracture.…”

“…This finding correlates with findings of other studies [7,15,18,19,24,27,32,33,42]. However in contrast to our study, various studies have reported that most common mandibular fracture site was body of the mandible by [1,17,22,26,28,30,44,45], parasymphysis [3,6,46], symphysis by [12] and angle of the mandible by [9].…”

“…Various studies have confirmed this finding [15,17,19,27,42]. Some studies accounted for fractures of the body to be the most frequent mandibular fracture sites [12,17] while others showed symphysis [45] and parasymphysis [46] related to road traffic accident mode. A possible explanation for this finding i.e.…”

Aim The present study was planned to investigate the etiology of maxillofacial injuries and to analyze the pattern of maxillofacial factures as well as the various factors influencing their distribution. Study design A one year cross-sectional study was done and 1,108 patients with maxillofacial fractures were analyzed consecutively from April 2010 to March 2011 who reported to the department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in the Centre for Dental Education & Research and Jai Prakash Narayan Apex Trauma Centre, AIIMS, New Delhi. A performa was designed to collect the data that included age and sex distribution, etiology, influence of alcohol, type of fractures, use of restraints devices, associated injuries and treatment delivered. Results Out of 1,108 patients, 89.62 % were males with a male:female ratio of 8.63:1. The 21-30 year age group was found to be maximum (39.98 %). Road traffic accidents accounted for 49.01 %, followed by assault (22.38 %) and fall from height (21.66 %). Two wheelers were the most commonly involved vehicle. Out of 437 road traffic accident patients (excluding pedestrian, n = 106), only 52.40 % were found to be using restraints devices at the time of accident. Totally 25.45 % patients were under the influence of alcohol at the time of injury. According to anatomical distribution of fractures, mandibular fractures (33.57 %) were most prevalent, followed by maxilla (31.13 %), nasal (28.33 %) and zygoma (24.36 %). Head injuries (18.32 %) were found to be the most common associated injuries followed by lower limb fractures. Conclusion The motive behind executing this article is to analyze the various trends of facial fractures and all those factors that affect their distribution. A perfect understanding of pattern of maxillofacial fracture will assist the executors of health care in the treatment planning and management of facial injuries. Knowledge gained from the present study would influence in assessing the effectiveness of existing preventive measures and elaboration of future preventive measures and conducting new research.

“…Fracture is the partial or total loss of bone integrity due to a trauma or a pathologic condition. [1,2] In the treatment of fractures, the main goal is to restore the functional integrity by bringing the fractured portions of the jaw into normal anatomical position, which is also termed as fracture reduction. [3,4] This is followed by fixation through which the fractured parts are held in their anatomical positions until the healing is complete.…”

“…Craniofacial fractures are very frequently encountered in modern society with the major causes being vehicle accidents, sportsrelated injuries and gunshot wounds [1]. The issue of virtual surgical reconstruction is critical even in a single-fracture instance as the surgeon needs to precisely, and in an expeditious manner, register the two bone fragments, thereby preventing any possible misalignment between them.…”

A novel procedure for in-silico (virtual) craniofacial reconstruction of human mandibles with multiple fractures from a sequence of Computed Tomography (CT) images is presented. The problem is formulated as one of combinatorial pattern matching and solved in two stages. First, the opposable fracture surfaces are identified using a maximum weight graph matching algorithm where the fracture surfaces are modeled as the vertices of a weighted graph. The edge weights between pairs of vertices are treated as elements of a score matrix, whose values are a linear combination of (a) the Hausdorff distance, and (b) a score function based on fracture surface characteristics. Second, the pairs of opposable fracture surfaces identified in the first stage are actually registered using the Iterative Closest Point (ICP) algorithm enhanced with a graph theoretic improvisation. The correctness of the registration in the second stage is constantly monitored by volumetric matching of the reconstructed mandible with an intact mandible. Experimental results on simulated CT image sequences of broken human mandibles are presented.
