Background: Mandibular fracture is the second most common fracture in the maxillofacial region. Various classification systems for mandibular fractures exist in the literature, some are incomplete and some are very complex. The purpose of this study was to present an unusual mandibular fracture and simplified classification system to include such fractures. Method: We report an unusual case of mandibular fracture in which the fracture pattern could not be classified according to any of the classification system except the one given by WHO. Open reduction and internal fixation was done under general anaesthesia with fixation of two miniplates and occlusion was achieved. Conclusions: As WHO classification is very complex and do not generally used in clinical practice. So we are proposing a modification in the existing AO classification of mandibular fractures so that such cases can be included.
