Abstract
In a prospective study of 256 mandibular fractures treated with maxillomandibular fixation it was found that most fractures in children needed only two weeks of immobilization, 75% of young healthy adults needed 3–4 weeks, and the elderly needed five weeks or more. The healing rate was similar at different sites except for the ramus where healing appeared to be quicker.
