Brief Summary

This retrospective observational study aimed to investigate the aetiology and fracture patterns among patients with mandibular condylar fractures (MCF) who were treated at a trauma center in Shiraz, Iran, between 2018 and 2020. A total of 122 patients were included. The study involved collecting data on fracture characteristics, including anatomical location, classification (MacLennan and Loukota systems), angle of fracture lines, and the presence of concomitant maxillofacial injuries. The objective was to examine correlations between these characteristics and demographic or clinical factors such as age, sex, and mechanism of injury.

Conditions

Mandibular Fractures; Facial Injuries

Keywords

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Distribution of mandibular condylar fracture types (MacLennan classification)

  Frequency and percentage of fracture types (Class I-IV) based on MacLennan classification at initial clinical evaluation.

  At initial evaluation (2018-2020)

• Anatomical location of mandibular condylar fractures

  Distribution of fracture sites: subcondylar, condylar neck, or condylar head based on CT scan classification (Loukota system).

  At initial evaluation (2018-2020)

• Etiology of mandibular condylar fractures

  Proportion of fractures attributed to road traffic accident, falling, or assault based on patient report.
