MANAGEMENT OF CONCOMITANT FRACTURES OF MANDIBULAR ANGLE AND CONTRALATERAL PARASYMPHYSIS

A common fracture in maxillofacial trauma is the mandibular fracture. The Parasymphysis region and combined angle-Parasymphysis fractures are the most common fracture locations. It is difficult to decrease several mandibular fractures, which typically result in facial asymmetry. In order to restore function and appearance, fracture therapy needs to be done right away. The management of numerous mandibular fractures in the angle and parasymphysis regions of the mandible is the focus of this case report. Case report: A 27-year-old male patient reported to the department of oral and maxillofacial surgery with severe pain during movement of jaw due to the road traffic accident. Clinical and radiographic examination revealed the right para symphysis and left mandibular angle undisplaced favourable fracture. Which was treated with Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF). Discussion: Driving accidents are typically the major cause of mandibular fractures, which happen frequently. Radiographs and a clinical evaluation are required in order to administer the proper care. Open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) combined with intraoral techniques is the treatment used in this instance. 3-D miniplate fixation in the para-symphysis area and conventional miniplate fixation in the mandibular angle area. Conclusion: Internal fixation with open reduction (ORIF) was used in this instance to treat many fractures that had occurred in the mandibular region. There is no major difference in clinical outcomes between two plating systems, and both can be effectively used in treatment of mandible fractures.
