Abstract
A 37-year-old male patient with no medical history was admitted after a road traffic accident (motorcyclist hit by a car). The patient was stable and conscient with no signs of head or neck injury. The patient had a CT head scan performed suggesting a comminuted fracture of the anterior body of the mandibule with a horizontal line associated. This unusual fracture was treated by an open reduction and internal fixation under general anesthesia, with three-dimensional plates and 10 holder maxiplate. The follow up was excellent without any postoperative complications.
