Abstract
Mandibular fractures represent approximately two-thirds of all maxillofacial fractures (nearly 70%), out of which fractures of mandibular ramus represent 3.09% which is considered to be a rare fracture site. They occur alone or in combination with other facial bone fractures resulting in loss of function and disfigurement. The pattern of mandibular fractures varies with geographic location, physical activity, social, cultural, and environmental factors. The main causes of mandibular fracture are road traffic accidents, interpersonal violence, falls, sports injuries, industrial trauma, and pathological fractures. In this clinical case, the authors describe a vertical ramal fracture extending from subsigmoid region to inferior border of angle of the mandible combined with symphysis fracture which was surgically operated through open reduction and internal fixation by extraoral approach.
