Table 1.

Correlation between mandibular ramus fracture patterns and cause (p < 0.05, Spearman rank test).

Variable 1	Variable 2	p-value	Rho*
Fracture pattern	Cause	0.010	0.4113
Fracture pattern	Maxillary fracture	0.002	0.3853
Age	Unilateral/bilateral fractures	0.006	−0.3435

^*Rho is the Spearman’s correlation coefficient. It varies from −1 to 1, where 1 indicates high correlation, −1 indicates high inverse correlation, and 0 indicates no correlation.
