[Mandibular fractures--retrospective study].
Between the years 1988 and 1997 1222 patients with mandible fractures were treated in the Department of Dental and Maxillofacial Surgery at Medical University in Lublin. Majority of them were male patients aged 19-40. In most cases fractures were caused by assault (55%) and traffic accidents (29.9%) frequently related to earlier consumption of alcohol. Among 702 from 1222 treated patients mandible fractures were accompanied by other injuries and that is both of bones structure and also of soft tissues.
