'''[[Skull and Facial Muscles - Anatomy & Physiology|Mandibular]] fractures''' are commonly seen in dogs and cats. With cats they often form part of the '''[[High-Rise Syndrome|high-rise syndrome]]''', when a cat falls from a height and suffers facial trauma as a result, or as a consequence of a '''road traffic accident'''. Canine mandibular fractures are normally caused by '''fighting''' or other '''trauma'''. Fractures can also occur in both species as a result of '''dental disease, metabolic disease and neoplasia'''.
