A Case Report on Non – Union of Mandibular Parasymphysis Fracture: A Rare Case

Abstract

Mandibular non – union is rare complication of mandibular fractures having very little incidence and even lesser reported cases in the literature. It represents a failure of the fracture hematoma to undergo transformation into an osteogenic matrix and hence it is converted into non – osteogenic fibrous tissue thus showing signs of hypermobility and increased range of motion. There are no definite guidelines for the management of mandibular non – union but usual treatment methodology includes use of reconstruction plates. In the following case report we describe the management of a case of non – union using miniplates and bone graft.
