Mandibular coronoid process fractures: Prevalence and characteristic multidetector CT findings

Abstract: Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and characteristic multidetector computed tomography (CT) (MDCT) findings of mandibular coronoid process fractures. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 376 patients with maxillofacial fractures who underwent 64‐MDCT. For patients with mandibular coronoid process fractures, age, gender, cause of injury, coronoid process fracture location, and other maxillofacial fracture location were analyzed. Results: Of all patients with maxillofacial f… Show more

“…The fractured process is excised if it is ankylosed to the zygomatic arch or to the temporal bone (Shen et al 2013). Fracture of only the coronoid process is rare and may be caused by reflex contraction of the temporalis muscle at the instance of facial trauma (Kale et al 2015) or from physical force causing the coronoid process to strike the ipsilateral posterior maxillary wall (Ogura et al 2016).…”

“…MDCT is an effective tool for the detection of maxillofacial fracture location, degree of fragment dislocation, soft tissue edema, and hemorrhage (13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18). Furthermore, trauma encompasses not only ambulatory patients with suspected maxillofacial fractures but also patients with loss of consciousness.…”
