“…Prevalence of depressive symptoms in different trauma populations may be related to the injury type. For example, among patients with mandibular fracture, there is a high prevalence of depression in young, unemployed, male members of minority groups with pre‐existing pain issues [52]. In contrast, a higher prevalence of postmenopausal women experience depression after a fall‐related hip fracture and orthopedic surgery than do other patient subgroups [53].…”

Orthopedic trauma is an unforeseen life-changing event. Serious injuries include multiple fractures and amputation. Physical rehabilitation has traditionally focused on addressing functional deficits after traumatic injury, but important psychological factors also can dramatically affect acute and long-term recovery. This review presents the effects of orthopedic trauma on psychological distress, potential interventions for distress reduction after trauma, and implications for participation in rehabilitation. Survivors commonly experience post-traumatic stress syndrome, depression, and anxiety, all of which interfere with functional gains and quality of life. More than 50% of survivors have psychological distress that can last decades after the physical injury has been treated. Early identification of patients with distress can help care teams provide the resources and support to offset the distress. Several options that help trauma patients navigate their short-term recovery include holistic approaches, pastoral care, coping skills, mindfulness, peer visitation, and educational resources. The long-term physical and mental health of the trauma survivor can be enhanced by strategies that connect the survivor to a network of people with similar experiences or injuries, facilitate support groups, and social support networking (The Trauma Survivors Network). Rehabilitation specialists can help optimize patient outcomes and quality of life by participating in and advocating these strategies.

“…Ukpong et al reported that lowered health-related QOL raised the risk of developing depression in patients with facial trauma, and Gironda et al found increased depressive symptoms associated with QOL in patients with mandibular fractures (Ukpong et al, 2008;Gironda et al, 2009). For QOL, in relation to specifically condylar mandibular fractures, only three studies are known (Santler et al, 1999;Eckelt et al, 2006;Schneider et al, 2008).…”

“…Recent evidence also suggests that individuals who suffer mandible fracture and undergo surgical intervention are at increased risk of developing depression. 1 Alcohol consumption characteristics are changing, with an increase in the propensity for intermittent high consumption, commonly known as 'bingeing', in Australian adolescents. 2 Bingeing is associated with significantly higher levels of violence and other harm related behaviour; this pattern of consumption might result from point of sale restriction and social conventions.…”

Background: Alcohol as a cofactor in interpersonal violence (IPV) has been established by studies from a number of countries. This study aimed to determine if alcohol was a cofactor in the incidence or severity of mandible fracture. Methods: A prospective study of mandible fracture patients presenting for oral maxillofacial review over 16 months was completed. Injury severity was assessed utilizing the Mandible Injury Severity Score (MISS). Results: A total of 252 facial trauma cases presented to our tertiary referral centre, 83 with fractures of the mandible. The majority of presentations were secondary to IPV (n = 54, 65.06%), 49 (90.74%) of these cases involved alcohol. Overall, alcohol was involved in 63.85% of cases (n = 53). The relative risk of requiring surgical intervention with alcohol involvement was 2.68 (CI = 1.11-9.47). Alcohol significantly increased facial fracture severity for MISS: alcohol (n = 53) 13.07 ± 5.01, no alcohol (n = 30) 11.03 ± 4.87 (p < 0.05). IPV also increased facial fracture severity for MISS: IPV (n = 54) 13.09 ± 4.90, non-IPV (n = 29) 11.00 ± 4.81 (p < 0.05). The angle of the mandible was most commonly fractured (40.5% of cases). Conclusions: Mandible fracture patients, whose injury is a result of IPV, have more severe fractures and a higher likelihood of requiring surgery if alcohol is involved. This correlates to a higher surgical workload, economic and social burden to the community. Primary alcohol and IPV prevention strategies will play an important role in reducing mandible fracture.
