Retrospective analysis of external pin fixation of mandibular fractures: A 25-year single institution experience.

External fixation of mandible fractures is an infrequently utilized fixation treatment modality in comparison to open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) or closed reduction techniques. However, external fixation still provides a necessary modality in the management of select mandibular fractures. Therefore, we aim to draw trends, outcomes, and treatment timelines through a retrospective analysis to better guide, advise and predict realistic treatment outcomes in the future for our patients.
