    Author: Berstein L, McClurg FL.
    Journal: Laryngoscope; 1977 Jun; 87(6):957-61. PubMed ID: 865211.
    Abstract:
    This report deals with a consecutive series of 156 mandibular fractures that were managed during a three-year period. The age and sex incidence are presented and the causative factors of the trauma are discussed. The fractures are classified according to anatomic site and laterality. The majority of the patients were treated with closed reduction techniques and the reasons for open reduction are tabulated. The results and complications of the treatment are enumerated. A conservative technique is described for open reduction of fracture-dislocations of the condylar head.
