چکیده
The aim of the study was to investigate post management complications of the fracture of mandible at the angle. Age and sex distribution was also studied. 750 patients who suffered maxillofacial trauma were seen during the period 1991-97 at Khyber College of Dentistry, Peshawar. 546 had mandibular fractures, 125 of these showed fracture at the angle. 20 (16%) suffered from some kind of complications. Break up showed five (25%) suffered from infection, seven (35%) had delayed union, one (5%) non-union, two (10%) showed malunion/ malocclusion, two (10%) trismus and three (15%) anesthesia/paraesthesia. Study subjects from 21-30 years showed highest (46%) prevalence of management complications. Males dominated females 4:1. RTA remained highest causative factor in the fracture ( 65.20 %).
