Treating mandibular fractures urgently is controversial. The purpose of this study was to estimate and compare the rates of postoperative inflammatory complications (POICs) in patients with isolated mandibular fractures treated in a nonurgent manner by an outpatient protocol versus a traditional, urgent inpatient protocol.
Mandibular fracture, also known as fracture of the jaw, is a break through the mandibular bone.In about 60% of cases the break occurs in two places. It may result in a decreased ability to fully open the mouth.
Treatment for osteonecrosis depends on a number of factors, including:
The most common site of mandibular fractures in adult patients was the symphysis and parasymphysis, followed by the condyle, body and angle. However, the mandibular symphysis/ parasymphysis and condyle were determined to be most common sites in young patients.
2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code S52. 501A: Unspecified fracture of the lower end of right radius, initial encounter for closed fracture.
Mandibular fractures can be classified in relation to their anatomic localisation (Fig. 1) as follows: symphysis/parasymphysis (30–50%), horizontal branch (21–36%), angle (15–26%), ramus (2–4%), condyle (20–26%), and coronoid process (1–2%).
Mandibular fracture, also known as fracture of the jaw, is a break through the mandibular bone. In about 60% of cases the break occurs in two places. It may result in a decreased ability to fully open the mouth. Often the teeth will not feel properly aligned or there may be bleeding of the gums.

How ICD-10 codes are structuredFirst three characters: General category,Fourth character (to the right of the decimal): The type of injury,Fifth character: Which finger was injured,Sixth character: Which hand was injured,Seventh character: The type of encounter (A, D, or S) as discussed above.
The mandible is a U-shaped bone. It is the only mobile bone of the facial skeleton, and, since it houses the lower teeth, its motion is essential for mastication. It is formed by intramembranous ossification. The mandible is composed of 2 hemimandibles joined at the midline by a vertical symphysis.
The rami are two vertical processes located on either side of the body; they join the body at the angle of the mandible. At the superior aspect of each ramus, the coronoid and condylar processes articulate with the temporal bone to create the temporomandibular joint which permits mobility.
Medical Definition of mandibular angle : an angle formed by the junction at the gonion of the posterior border of the ramus and the inferior border of the body of the mandible.
ICD Code S02.6 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the nine child codes of S02.6 that describes the diagnosis 'fracture of mandible' in more detail. S02.6 Fracture of mandible. NON-BILLABLE.
The ICD code S026 is used to code Facial trauma. Facial trauma, also called maxillofacial trauma, is any physical trauma to the face. Facial trauma can involve soft tissue injuries such as burns, lacerations and bruises, or fractures of the facial bones such as nasal fractures and fractures of the jaw, as well as trauma such as eye injuries.
Symptoms are specific to the type of injury; for example, fractures may involve pain, swelling, loss of function, or changes in the shape of facial structures.
