Abstract: (103 Views)
Introduction: Symphysis and parasymphysis fractures are significantly related to mandibular condyle fractures. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between mandibular chin angle, age, gender, anterior fracture type and condyle fracture.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out in 142 patients with symphysis-parasymphysis fracture. The patients CT scans with symphysis-parasymphysis fractures were examined. Study samples were divided into two groups, with condylar fracture and without condylar fracture. Mandibular chin angle was measured in the CT scan scout view using the Image-j tool. Demographic data was extracted from patient’s information stored in their medical records. The results were analyzed using SPSS 26 software.
Results: The mean ± standard deviation of Chin angle in patients with condylar fracture and without condylar fracture was 129.07 ± 8.68 and 127.03 ± 8.11, respectively, which difference was not statistically significant (P = 0.151). The incidence of condylar fractures in men with parasymphysis fractures was 2.43 higher than in women, which was statistically significant (P = 0.032). The mean ± standard deviation of age in patients with condylar fracture was 27.87 ± 9.20 and in patients without condylar fracture was 27.22 ± 8.41. This difference was not statistically significant (P = 0.350). The condylar fracture rates in patients with parasymphysis fractures and symphysis fractures were 52.25% and 41.94%, respectively, which were not statistically significant (P = 0.31).
Conclusion: The gender of patients should be taken into consideration in the clinical evaluation of condylar fractures.
