Abstract
in English, Chinese

The cases of mandible fractures among elderly people, especially those with atrophic mandibles, are increasing. Atrophic mandibular fractures among elderly people require specific treatment because of the differences between the anatomicophysiologies of elderly people and those of normal adults. This paper serves as a literature review on the characteristics, selection of the treatment method, and complication of atrophic edentulous mandibular fractures among elderly people.

老年萎缩性无牙牙合下颌骨骨折由于其解剖生理特点与一般成人有较大差别，在治疗上具有很大的特殊性。本文对老年萎缩性无牙牙合下颌骨骨折的特点、治疗方式的选择和并发症的处理进行综述。.

Keywords: atrophic edentulous; elderly people; mandibular fracture.
