BACKGROUND: We retrospectively reviewed @entity1 who were treated and followed-up for @entity174 within a 10-year period. METHODS: A total of 204 @entity1 (158 males, 46 females; mean age 22.4 years; range 5 to 72 years) were retrospectively evaluated with respect to age groups, sex, etiology, associated injuries, localization and type of the @entity174 , treatment methods, and early and late complications. The follow-up period ranged from four months to 10 years. RESULTS: The most common cause of injury was traffic accidents (44.1%), followed by falling (31.8%), and violence (17.1%). The highest incidence occurred at ages 21 to 30 years. Of 283 @entity174 detected, the most common @entity174 sites were the parasymphysis (83 @entity174 , 29.3%) and the angulus (52 @entity174 , 18.4%). Forty-eight @entity1 (24%) had associated injuries. The type of the @entity174 was simple in 80 @entity1 (39.2%), and complex in 62 @entity1 (30.4%). Treatment included open reduction with @entity702 mini-plates and screws in 130 @entity1 , and intermaxillary fixation in the remaining @entity1 . The @entity174 recovered without any complications in 167 @entity1 (81.8%). No occlusion-related complications occurred in the late follow-ups. Complications were encountered in 37 @entity1 (18.1%), being in the early ( @entity3232 in 5.9%, infections in 2.5%, inferior @entity128 in 2.5%) or late (plate-screw exposition in 4.4%, @entity3947 of the temporomandibular joint in 2%, and @entity292 in 1%) postoperative periods. CONCLUSION: Rigid fixation should be the first choice of treatment in @entity174 .
