One of the most frequent injuries to the maxillofacial area is a fractured mandible. Multiple places can experience fractures. The inferior alveolar nerve is commonly injured by mandibular fractures. Objective: The study's objective was to determine the frequency of inferior alveolar nerve damage in patients who had internal fixation and open reduction of a mandibular fracture at the Ayub Teaching Hospital in Abbottabad. Methodology: With approval from the institution's ethics committee and CPSP, this descriptive case series was finished at the Department of Maxillofacial of the Ayub Teaching Hospital in Abbottabad. The method to evaluate percentage with absolute precision and the accompanying assumption were used to compute the sample size using the WHO programme for computing sample sizes in health research. Results: The mean age of the participants was 35.81+5.63 years, with a range of ages from 26 to 45. The age categories with the highest incidence were 26-30 (n=23, 23.96%), followed by the age ranges 36-40 and 41-45 (n=26, 27.08%). 75 (78.12%) men and 21 (21.88%) women participated in the research. General anaesthesia was used by the majority of patients (n=90; 93.75%), whereas local anaesthesia was used by the remaining patients (n=6; 6.25%).
