What is Jaw Fracture?

A jaw fracture is a break in the mandible or maxilla, the bones that form the lower and upper jaw, most commonly resulting from significant trauma to the face such as a fall, sports injury, assault, or road traffic accident. The jaw is one of the most frequently fractured facial bones due to its prominent position, and fractures can occur at a single site or in multiple locations along the bone simultaneously. Because the jaw plays a central role in chewing, speech, and facial structure, even a single fracture can significantly impair these functions and cause visible facial deformity if not properly realigned. Prompt diagnosis with imaging and appropriate stabilization are essential to restore normal bite and jaw function.
