Background and Aim: Mandible and clavicle are highly susceptible to fracture when injured or traumatized. Their incidence and occurrence is highly imperative in long term management of these fractures. The ultimate aim of this study was to assess the Clavicle and Mandible Fractures Reported in the Institutionalized Patients of North India. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted on total 80 patients including both male and female patients. Simple random sampling procedure was used for their selection. Patients with history of fractures who reported to the department during 1 year were included. Fracture data related to Clavicle and Mandible Fractures were explored. Different sites of fracture of clavicle were searched in the past record data. The relative incidences were noted and tabulated to form results. P value less than 0.05 taken as significant. Statistical Analysis and Results: Statistical analysis was completed by using statistical software Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 22. Total 24 Patients were belonging to age group 25-30 years. Only 4 Patients were belonging to the age range of 45-50 years. Maximum 26 Patients were found in the age of 31-35 Yrs. Clavicle Type A was most commonly noted in Clavicle fracture. Condylar Neck Fracture was most commonly noted in Mandible fracture. Clavicle Type C was least commonly noted in Clavicle fracture. Conclusion: Within the limitations of the study, authors concluded that most of the reported fractures were in the younger patients of 25-35 years. Clavicle Type A and Mandibular Condylar Neck Fractures were most commonly noted fractures in Clavicle and Mandibular. Numerous other injuries such as mucosal wounds, facial injuries, brain injury, skull fracture, are also seen as allied injuries in Clavicle and Mandibular fractures. |
