What is the Effect of Treating Mandibular Fractures on Weight and Prealbumin?

Fracture healing relies on the body to coordinate an inflammatory and anabolic reaction to re-establish osseous union. While many factors affect this process, or even disrupt it, the role of the body's nutritional reserves is not well understood. The purpose of the present study was to describe the weight changes and to identify trends in laboratory values commonly used in nutritional assessment during mandibular fracture treatment.
