Incidence, aetiology, treatment outcome and complications of maxillofacial fractures. A retrospective study from Northern Greece

This study verified a young males predominance, a shift towards more assault related fractures -especially in females- and similar post-surgical results for MMF and RIF modalities in mandibular fractures. In those patients treated with RIF, placement of fewest plates possible to obtain stability better serves aesthetics at the same time reducing risk for post-surgical infections and malocclusion.
