Incidence and Risk Factors of Cervical Vascular Injuries after Blunt Mandible Fractures by Nasim Ahmed, MBBS, FACS; Patricia Greenberg, MS; Kayvon Haghighi, MD, FACS

Established screening criteria for cerebrovascular injuries, (CVI) does not include blunt mandible fracture. Our study found that blunt mandible fracture in female patients who are involved in high impact traumatic mechanism I;e high speed motor vehicle etc. are among the high risk for those vascular injuries. Therefore, mandible fractures in high-risk patients should be included as a risk factor for CVI.

Damage control surgery has been in acute trauma management for more than two decades, where, source of bleeding needs to be stopped and contamination needs to be curtailed. Then the patient returns to operating room after 24 -48 hours later for definite surgery. Use of rapid source control in acute care surgery is an evolving field. Our study showed that performing a damage control type surgery should be limited and not apply all acute care surgery cases. https://www.journalacs.org/article/S1072-7515(19)31502-9/abstract
