INBDE Practice Exam 2025 – Complete Study Guide

Question: 1 / 1180

Mandible fractures are ideally treated with what procedure?

Closed Reduction

LeFort III Fixation

Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF)

Mandible fractures are typically treated surgically, rather than simply being bandaged or closed reduced. Closed reduction and open reduction/internal fixation (ORIF) are both surgical procedures that involve realigning the broken bones and securing them in place with plates, screws or wires. LeFort III fixation, on the other hand, is a specific type of surgery that is used to treat fractures in the mid-face region, not in the mandible. Therefore, open reduction/internal fixation (ORIF) is the ideal treatment option for mandible fractures.
