Abstract
Background: The exact timing of treatment of mandibular fractures remains a source of debate. Immediate repair of fractures is not always feasible; the existence of associated injuries and bad general condition might make it not practical. We performed this study to detect the difference of percentage of complications between cases of early and delayed management of mandibular fractures in order to set recommendations of the appropriate timing of work on these cases. Methods: A retrospective study included 180 patients having isolated parasymphyseal mandibular fractures underwent chart review to document the relevant data, including the time of fracture, time of treatment and complications recorded during post-operative follow-up. Patients were categorized according to whether they had surgical intervention early post-trauma or late. Results: 90% were males and 10% were females. Mean age of 28.74 years. 59% presented with associated zygomaticomaxillary complex fractures. Follow-up time was 6 months. No statistically significant difference in the development of post-operative complications after mandible fracture repair between the early and late treatment groups. Conclusion: Our study has similar results to that of
