The method of treatment of mandible fractures with purulent-inflammatory complications

Abstract

Occurrence of inflammatory complications in the victims with mandible fractures is 35-40%. Post-traumatic inflammatory complications in patients with mandible fractures are mostly associated with not extracted tooth (located in the line of fracture), poor fixation of the mandible fragments, reduced body reactivity and other factors. Even the lack of the tooth in the line of a damaged mandibular bone is not an absolute guarantee to prevent the development of post-traumatic complications in patients with mandible fracture, since these complications can occur due to lacerations and hematomas in the adjacent soft tissues.
