Key Points

  • This study aims to evaluate the effects of methylprednisolone on opioid usage during recovery from open mandible fracture repair.
  • Retrospective analysis of patients undergoing open mandible fracture repair
  • Comparison between patients who received methylprednisolone and those who did not
  • Propensity score matching to control for confounding variables
  • Methylprednisolone use is linked to reduced opioid requirements post-surgery
  • No significant increase in wound complications was observed
  • Infectious complications remained low and unchanged

Abstract

In this large retrospective study, perioperative methylprednisolone use during open mandible fracture repair was associated with reduced opioid requirements, without increasing wound or infectious complications.
