ABSTRACT

Objective: To describe the frequency and distribution of mandibular fractures (MF) at a Mexican hospital. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out between January 1994 and December 1999, among patients referred to the Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (IMSS) maxillofacial surgical unit, in Campeche, Mexico. Data was collected from daily clinical records, regarding presence of (MF), age, sex, medical insurance, year, and type of anesthetic. Statistical analysis was performed using non-parametric tests in STATA 7. Results: Eighty-eight MF were recorded; the frequency of MF was higher in men than in women (61.7% vs 43.7%) (p = 0.068). Over 75% of the cases occurred among patients ≤ 40 years of age. A high percentage of MF was found among the 31-40 year-old group (73.7%) (p = 0.000), and among workers (67%) (p = 0.000). Angle fractures were the most common (35.2%), followed by those of the mandibular body (22.7%). Conclusions: The epidemiologic characteristics found in this self-selected sample were similar to those reported in the specialized international literature. MF mainly occur in middle age men. The fracture patterns differed among age groups.
