Fracture of the genial tubercles of the mandible: case report and review of the literature

Anne Cornelis van Leeuwen et al. J Oral Maxillofac Surg. 2014 Oct.

Abstract

Fracture of the genial tubercles is a rare occurrence and can occur as a solitary fracture or an associated fracture of the mandible. A solitary fracture seems to be associated with severe atrophy of the mandible. A report of a case of fractured genial tubercles in an 80-year-old edentulous female patient is described and a review of the literature is presented.
