Outcome of Rigid Internal Fixation of Mandibular Fractures: a Prospective Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
This prospective study was undertaken to analyze the postoperative outcome in 80 mandibular fracture patients treated by open reduction and internal fixation at Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Unit, Khyber College of Dentistry, Peshawar from Jan 2006 to June 2007. Data regarding the pattern of fracture and postoperative outcome was evaluated and reviewed. The most common cause of fracture was road traffic accident and common site was parasymphysis. Sixty two patients (n=62; 77%) had successful uneventful postoperative outcome. Infection was the common complication (n=7; 8.7%) followed by malocclusion (n=5; 6.2%).

Abstract Background: Unstable Pelvic fracture, a result of high energy antero-posterior compression injury, has been managed based on internal fixation and open reduction. The mode of fixation in Unstable Pelvic fracture has, however, been a subject of controversy and some authors have proposed a need to address the issue of partial breach of the pelvic ring elements in these injuries. This st...

متن کاملOpen Reduction and Internal Fixation of Mandibular Fracture without Rigid Maxillomandibular Fixation
Introduction The ability to treat fracture with open reduction and internal fixation (OR/IF) has dramatically revolutionized the approach to mandible fracture. With OR/IF, the postoperative role of rigid maxillomandibular fixation (MMF) has declined, but it is used to maintain proper occlusion until internal fixation of the fracture is achieved. Objective To assess intraoperative manual MMF dur...
