Abstract		Background Due to anatomic changes of lower jaw and life habits of the population over 60 yeas of age, etiology and therapy of mandible fractures essentially change. In most cases, treatment of lower jaw fractures is operative. Longer osteosynthetic plates are used because of insufficient blood supply and osteoporosis. Plate location varies according to atrophy and therefore often differs from basic principles of mandible osteosynthesis. Conclusions The author explains the specific etiology of facial skeleton fractures, their diagnostic, and particularities of osteosynthesis, focusing primarily on mandible fractures.
Summary		Izhodišča Zaradi anatomskih sprememb spodnje čeljustnice in življenjskih navad populacije nad 60. letom starosti se bistveno spremeni etiologija in zdravljenje zlomov spodnje čeljustnice. Zdravljenje zlomov obraznega skeleta je v večini primerov operativno. Pri osteosintezi uporabljamo zaradi slabše prekrvitve in osteoporoze daljše osteosintetske plošče. Umestitev plošč glede na atrofijo variira in pogosto odstopa od osnovnih načel osteosinteze spodnje čeljustnice. Zaključki V prispevku je obravnavana specifika etiologije zlomov obraznega skeleta, diagnostika in posebnosti osteosinteze, predvsem v področju spodnje čeljustnice.
