Abstract
Background: The fractures of the ramus of the mandible are generally negligibly displaced. This is because
of the anatomical situation of the ramus between the masseter and the medial pterygoid muscle. The present
study was conducted to assess ramus of mandible fractures in patients.
Materials and Methods: Present study was carried out on 125 subjects of both genders with fractures
of ramus of mandible. The reason of injury, pretreatment occlusion, treatment protocol (open or closed),
period of MMF and post-treatment occlusion was documented. Results obtained were subjected to
statistical analysis.
Results: Out of 125 patients, 75 were males and 50 females. Prime reason of fracture of ramus was road
traffic accident (RTA) in 87 cases, fall in 26 and assault in 12 cases. The difference was statistically
significant with p value
and closed treatment in 20 cases.
Conclusion: This study revealed that fractures of ramus are not commonly seen. Open reduction and
internal fixation of fracture of ramus warrants acceptable functional and anatomic reduction.
Keywords: Ramus, Mandible, Fracture.
