This retrospective study analyzed complications in 96 patients with 99 mandibular angle fractures treated during a 3-year period with either closed reduction or nonrigid means of fixation combined with maxillomandibular fixation. An overall complication rate of 17% occurred. Infection was the most common complication, occurring in 17 fractures. Thirteen fractures had infection as the only complication; in the remaining four patients, infection was combined with malunion/malocclusion. The results of this study show that mandibular angle fractures in an inner-city population are associated with a high incidence of postsurgical complications.
这项回顾性研究分析了96例患者99处下颌角骨折的并发症情况，这些骨折患者在3年期间接受了闭合复位或非刚性固定方法联合颌间固定治疗。总体并发症发生率为17%。感染是最常见的并发症，发生在17处骨折中。13处骨折仅有感染这一并发症；在其余4例患者中，感染与骨不连/错合畸形并存。本研究结果表明，市中心城区人群的下颌角骨折与术后并发症的高发生率相关。
