Re: Is a fractured mandible an emergency?

We the recent paper from Hammond et al with interest.1 It stated that "delay before definitive fixation caused no harm in either the short or the long term." While we agree that this retrospective review adds to the evidence that delay before fixation of a fractured mandible is not associated with adverse surgical outcomes, it does not explore non-surgical outcomes, and this conclusion is therefore unjustified.
