The aim of this study was to estimate the frequency of PPFs associated with mandibular fractures and identify factors associated with PPF. We conducted a retrospective cross-sectional study using computed tomography scanning of patients having a mandibular fracture between November 2018 and April 2020. PPFs were classified using the classification by An et al. Volume, length, and width of both lateral pterygoid muscles have been evaluated by using an image processing software. Study population has been divided into 2 groups: fracture of pterygoid process or the absence of PPF. To evaluate the implication of lateral pterygoid muscle in the pathophysiology of PPF, we compared lateral pterygoid muscle volume, its maximal length, and width between both groups. Patients with bilateral fractures were excluded from this analysis. About 304 patients with at least 1 mandibular fracture have been included in this study. About 18 patients presenting an association of mandibular fracture and PPF were finally selected. About 83.33% of the patients were concerned by a fracture of the posterior part of the mandible. The PPF was classified as type IIA by the classification of An et al for 94.4% of patients. The lateral pterygoid muscle volumes were significantly larger on the side of the PPF (P = .02). However, there were no significant differences in the maximum length (P = .49) and width (P = .1) of lateral pterygoid muscle. Our study showed an association between mandibular fractures (mainly ipsilateral posterior) and isolated PPF through a lateral pterygoid muscle volume increase.Show less >
