Case Study: Managing Complex Mandible Fractures in a Resource-Limited Setting

This study reviews the treatment outcomes of twenty complex mandible fracture cases, analyzing clinical results and the challenges associated with limited medical resources.

Study methodology

The study included patients aged between 18 and 55 who underwent surgical treatment between 2023 and 2025, with six months of post-operative follow-up to assess functional and aesthetic outcomes.

Key findings

• Fracture fixation success rate reached 92% without the need for further intervention
• A notable reduction in healing time when an early nutrition protocol was used
• A need for standardized protocols to manage cases presenting late for review

The study recommends adopting a standardized diagnostic protocol to speed up surgical decision-making, particularly in areas facing pressure on medical resources.
