Clinicoradiological Study of Mandibular Fractures in Tertiary Care Centre

The mandible, being one of the most prominent and mobile bones of the facial skeleton, is highly susceptible to traumatic injuries. Mandibular fractures represent a significant proportion of maxillofacial trauma cases, often resulting from road traffic accidents, assaults, falls, or occupational injuries. The present study, titled “Clinicoradiological Study of Mandibular Fractures in Tertiary Care Centre”, aims to analyze in detail the etiology, clinical presentation, radiological patterns, and types of mandibular fractures encountered in a tertiary care setting in the span of two years (October 2023 - October 2025). Special emphasis is placed on the diagnostic role of clinicoradiological correlation in accurate localization and classification of fractures. Furthermore, the study evaluates different management modalities, ranging from conservative approaches such as closed reduction and maxillomandibular fixation to surgical interventions like open reduction and internal fixation. By comparing outcomes of these treatment strategies, the study seeks to highlight the practical considerations, challenges, and effectiveness of both conservative and surgical methods in routine clinical practice.
