Aim: The study was focused on the evaluation of etiological factors of mandibular fractures, their frequency, relationship to the season and the relationship with head and neck skeletal injuries.

Methodology: A retrospective study of lower jaw injuries was performed at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the Olomouc University Hospital in the period from 01. 01. 2013 to 31. 12. 2017. 432 patients with radiographically verified mandibular fracture were reported. The classification of fractures was governed by the AOCMF classification system. The season in which the injury occurred, the mechanism of the injury, and whether other structures of the skeleton of the face and neck were injured were monitored.

Results: Out of a total of 432 patients, 250 simple fractures were diagnosed. In 182 cases it was a multiple fracture and in 77 cases other structures of the skeleton of the head and neck were injured. The most common cause was evaluated 143 attacks (33.10%), followed by falls, cyclist injuries and traffic accidents. The maximum of mandibular fractures was recorded in July (50 patients).

Keywords: mandible fractures, facial skeleton trauma, cervical spine damage
