Presentation and Management of Ballistic Mandible Fractures

Mandible Fractures

•Second most common after nasal bone fractures

•Typically secondary to blunt mechanisms

•Fractures due to ballistic injury have not been well studied

Study Design

•Retrospective

•Single Level 1 Trauma Center

•July, 2018 to April, 2020

•Both isolated mandibular injury and in conjunction with other injuries included

Conclusions

•Ballistic mandible fractures present unique challenges to the reconstructive surgeon

•Assessment and priority of clinical stability, especially airway concerns

•Limited in retrospective nature, inconsistent follow up
