A 3-year-old Arabian colt was presented for a major gingiva wound at the right rostral part of mandible. After clinical assessments, rostral mandibular fracture was determined. Stabilization of fractured region was achieved via cerclage wire application under general anesthesia. Fixation wires were left in place for 6 weeks. A 3 -month follow up revealed complete fracture healing. The purpose o...

A rare case of horizontal fracture of mandibular symphysis caused by a sharp matchet cut is presented. Under local anaesthesia with sedation, the fracture site was exposed through the sutured laceration on the left submandibular region. The fracture was adequately reduced and fixed with two circum-mandibular wires. Healing was uneventful, but postoperative radiograph after six weeks revealed a ...

Bilateral mandibular fracture was presented in 4 years old buffalo due to accidental injury. Radiographically the seen at proximal one third of horizontal ramus mandible. The stabilized with bilateral intramedullary pinning. can be well managed

The aim of this research was to study of treatment of mandibular body fractures (MBF). A retrospective study of 66 patients with mandibular body fracture was realized with subjects was present clinical and image diagnosis;were analyzed socio-demographic variables, etiology, sign and symptoms of fracture, type of treatment and complications. Was executed a statistical and descriptive analysis wi...

This case report demonstrates a technique that is useful for precompressing mandibular fractures and obtaining anatomical reduction of the fracture edges without the use of peroperative intermaxillary fixation (IMF) in a mandibular fracture by using two modified reduction forceps. The first forcep is positioned at the inferior mandibular border and the other in the neutral zone where it is an i...

OBJECTIVE To review our experience with late Marx stage III osteoradionecrosis (ORN) of the mandible in patients who present with pathologic fracture. STUDY DESIGN Case series with chart review. SETTING Tertiary care center. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Thirty-seven patients were identified from June 1998 to August 2010 who underwent treatment of Marx grade III osteoradionecrosis with pathologic ...

This tutorial outlines the details of the AOCMF image-based classification system for fractures of the mandibular arch (i.e. the non-condylar mandible) at the precision level 3. It is the logical expansion of the fracture allocation to topographic mandibular sites outlined in level 2, and is based on three-dimensional (3D) imaging techniques/computed tomography (CT)/cone beam CT). Level 3 allow...

BACKGROUND Fractures of mid-face were first described by Le Fort and are classified into three categories - Le Fort I, Le Fort II and Le Fort III. The pterygoid processes of the sphenoid bone are fractured in all the three categories of Le Fort fractures as the sphenoid bone connects the cranium vault to the facial bones. Fractures of the pterygoid processes without associated Le Fort fractures...
