  • The mandible plays a crucial role in the vital human functions of breathing, eating, and speaking. No other bone in the body has such a distinctive shape and function. Because of its prominence in the facial structure, the mandible is highly prone to fracture. A clinical study on 122 patients with mandibular fracture who visited Kangnam General Hospital during 4 year(1992-1995) was done by analysing sex, age, cause, fracture site, teeth involvement, treatment method, complication and involvement of other body part. The results obtained were as follows : 1. The occurrence was more frequent in male than in female with the ratio of 5.4 : 1 and most frequently in twenties. 2. Violence was the most common cause of facial mandibular fracture. 3. In mandibular fracure, fracture site was average 1.5 sites, most frequently in symphysis and simple fracture was 86.1%. 4. As treatment methods, open reduction(78.6%) was used more frequently than closed reduction(21.4%). 5. Post-operational complication occurred in 27.0% of the cases. 6.

  • Background and Purpose : In the acute stage of stroke, many medical and neurological problems complicate and affect the clinical course of patients. according to previous reports. Although some of them may be predicted, few data exist about them. So we were to investigate the characteristics of complications in hospitalized patients due to stroke. Methods : We retrospectively examined the clinical notes of patients admitted in Won Kwang oriental medical hospital after stroke. Two observers inspected the clinical notes using predefined diagnostic criteria and recorded the type, timing, and frequency of complications that occurred during hospitalization. Results: Total 78 subjects were included in this study. Medical complications(88%) were more frequently complicated than neurological ones(65%). The most common medical complication was constipation(29%) followed by fever(28.2%) and overflow incontinence associated with dysuria(28%). The most common neurological complication was dysphagia(23.7%) and the second was agitation or Insomnia(36%) and the third was headache(21%). Conclusion : Complications after acute stroke were commonly observed. And There were more frequent medical complications than neurological ones. So we should have much knowledge about medical complications and treat them actively. The differences between our study and previous studies are attributable to the different methods including patient selection and diagnostic criteria.
