Patients and Methods: This study is a retrospective anal-ysis of medical records available with Trauma Unit Assiut University Hospital. In period from March 2014 to December 2016 “414” patients.

There were (60.86%) of cases had done by open reduction & intend fixation “ORIF” vs. (36.95%) of cases done by closed reduction and (2.2%) of cases treatment conservative. There were (27.77%) of cases have mouth opening normal with (69.0%) have normal occlusion. As regard there were (3.14%) of cases have infection post-operative. Conclusion: As regard there were higher in percentage in function, infection risk of anesthesia and fixation in ORIF group than closed reduction with highly significance difference. | ||||
