Objectives:
The aim of this retrospective study is to evaluate the etiology of mandibular
fractures, the distribution of the age and gender of mandibular fracture
patients, the anatomical regions where these fractures are located, and the
treatment modalities used in mandibular fracture cases.
Materials
and Methods: This study employed data obtained
via clinical records and the files of patients diagnosed with a mandibular
fracture who were treated from 2011 to 2015 at the Department of Oral and
Maxillofacial Surgery, Ataturk University.
The etiology of these patients’ mandibular fractures, the distribution
of these patients’ age and gender, the anatomical regions where these patients’
fractures were located, and the treatments applied to these patients were
recorded by analyzing the obtained data. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed
using Microsoft Excel software.
Results: 137 mandibular fracture sites were seen in 103 patients. Of these
patients, 81 (79%) were male and 22 (21%) female, making the male-to-female
ratio 3.7:1. The patients’ ages ranged between 4 and 78 years, and the mean age
was 31.4. Of the various etiologies of mandibular fractures, traffic accident
(42 patients, 41%) was most frequent, followed by violence (28 patients, 27%),
fall (24 patients, 23%). Of the various anatomical sites where mandibular
fractures occurred, the condylar site (36 patients, 26%) was the most common,
followed by the body (24%), symphysis and parasymphysis (23%), angle (18%). 58
patients (56%) were treated with closed reduction 42 patients (41%) were
treated with open reduction. Three patients (3%) did not receive any treatment.
Conclusions:
Traffic accidents are the most common etiologic factor of mandibular fracture
cases in center of the Eastern Anatolia Region of Turkey. Males and young
individuals are the most affected. The condylar site is the most common
anatomical site. Both closed and open
reduction methods are commonly used for the treatment of mandibular fractures.
Amaç: Bu retrospektif çalışmanın amacı, mandibula kırıklarının etiyolojisini,
hastaların cinsiyet ve yaş dağılımlarını, bu kırıkların oluştuğu anatomik bölgeleri
ve tedavi yöntemlerini değerlendirmektir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışma da kullanılan veriler, 2011-2015
yılları arasında Atatürk Üniversitesi, Dişhekimliği Fakültesi Ağız, Diş ve Çene
Cerrahisi Anabilim Dalı'nda mandibula kırığı teşhisiyle tedavi edilen
hastaların dosyaları ve klinik kayıtlarından elde edilmiştir. Bu veriler
üzerinden, mandibula kırıklarının etiyolojisi, yaş ve cinsiyet dağılımı,
kırıkların anatomik bölgeleri ve uygulanan tedaviler analiz edilerek
kaydedildi. Verilerin yüzdeleri, ortalamaları ve standart sapmaları Microsoft
Excel yazılımı kullanılarak hesaplandı.
Bulgular: 103 hastada 137 mandibula kırığı görüldü. Bu hastalardan 81'i (% 79)
erkek, 22'si (% 21) kadın, erkek-kadın oranı 3.7: 1’dir. Hastaların yaşları 4
ile 78 yıl arasında değişiyordu ve ortalama yaş 31.4’dür. Mandibula
kırıklarının çeşitli etyolojileri arasında trafik kazaları (42 hasta,% 41) en
sık olarak görülmekle birlikte, bunu şiddet (28 hasta,% 27) ve düşme (24
hasta,% 23) izledi. Mandibula kırıklarının meydana geldiği çeşitli anatomik
bölgeler arasında kondil bölgesi en sık görülmekle birlikte (36 hasta,% 26),
bunu korpus (% 24), semfiz ve parasemfiz (% 23) ve angulus (% 18) izledi. 58
hasta (% 56) kapalı redüksiyonla ve kırk iki hasta (% 41) açık redüksiyonla tedavi
edildi. Üç hasta (% 3) herhangi bir tedavi görmedi.
Sonuç: Trafik kazaları, mandibula kırıklarında en sık görülen etyolojik faktör
olmakla birlikte erkekler ve genç bireyler en fazla etkilenmektedir. Kondiler
bölge kırığın meydana geldiği en yaygın anatomik bölgedir. Mandibula
kırıklarının tedavisinde hem kapalı hem de açık redüksiyon tedavi yöntemleri
yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır.
