The Isolated Ramus Fracture of The Mandible: A Rare Entity

In the facial region, mandibular fractures are relatively prevalent. Ramus fractures rank as one of the least common fractures of the mandible, which account for about 1-3% of all mandibular fractures. Because of the mandible's robustness and anatomical structure in this area, oblique fractures of the mandibular ramus are comparatively rare. This case report describes the clinical presentation, diagnostic evaluation, and management of an oblique ramus fracture in a 28-year-old male following a trauma. Surgical intervention and fixation were performed using 3D miniplate, with favourable outcomes. The discussion highlights the challenges in diagnosis and fixation of oblique ramus fractures due to their anatomical and biomechanical considerations.
