| Abstrakt: | Mandibular ramus fracture is usually minimally displaced as it is surrounded by the medial pterygoid medially, masseter laterally, and the pterygomasseteric sling inferiorly. They are commonly caused either by road traffic accidents or interpersonal violence. Ramus fracture is usually seen in conjunction with other mandibular fractures and is seldom found alone. The ramus is located at the congregation of the dentate and the non-dentate parts of the mandible. Ramus fractures are generally managed by closed reduction when minimally displaced but this technique has its disadvantages like poor maintenance of oral hygiene and prolonged healing time. It can get fractured in various patterns. Owing to the presence of anatomical structures on either side of the ramus and the orientation of the fracture line, the treatment plan varies in each case to prevent paresthesia by preserving the inferior alveolar nerve. This article has demonstrated four distinct kinds of mandibular ramus fractures and their management with open reduction internal fixation (ORIF).
