Rigid internal fixation for the treatment of infected mandibular fractures

Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 1992
A review of the literature is presented that shows that treatment of infected fractures by rigid internal fixation is biologically sound. A protocol for managing infected mandibular fractures with plate and screw fixation was developed and used on 11 patients.

Aseptic diaphyseal pseudarthrosis: Treatment by rigid internal fixation

Archives of Orthopaedic and Traumatic Surgery, 1984
The authors define their concepts with regard to nonunion of fractures and study the possible causes of aseptic diaphyseal pseudarthrosis in the 182 cases in their casuistics. They have found that the indication for osteosynthesis was incorrect in 34% of the cases and when it was correct, the technique was poor in 58%.

Ankle fractures treated with non-rigid internal fixation

Injury, 1986
Two hundred and thirty-seven fractures of the ankle treated with non-rigid internal fixation were reviewed with regard to classification, congruency of joint surface, range of motion and the patients' subjective symptoms. The fractures were divided into either severe fractures consisting of two or more skeletal injuries or simple fractures consisting ...

Internal screw fixation: Comparison of placement pattern and rigidity

Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 1989
Multiple screw placement patterns and techniques have been described for fixation of the sagittal split ramus osteotomy. This study evaluated transverse strength (rigidity) of six groups of simulated sagittal osteotomies fixed with different screw patterns and placement techniques.

External and internal rigid fixation.

Annals of the Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons, 1993
A 25-year-old labourer sustained submandibular and intra-oral injuries in an unusual industrial site accident. He fell from above onto steel reinforcing rods which were set in concrete and projecting two metres above the concrete floor. He was impaled by a rod which entered the mouth beneath the right side of the mandible and exited from the mouth ...

Genioplasty Techniques and Considerations for Rigid Internal Fixation

2007
Genioplastic corrective surgery has been used for many years.1,2 Owing to the improvement of fixation techniques with plates and screws,2 as in fracture treatment, reconstructive and corrective bone surgery has become considerably more predictable than was possible when wire osteosyntheses were used.

Rigid Internal Fixation of Compound Mandibular Fractures

1976
The main aims of internal fixation of simple mandibular fractures apply also to compound fractures. They are: 1. absolute stability 2. good repositioning and thorough adaptation 3. atraumatic surgical technique.

Rigid Internal Fixation of a Displaced Mandibular Coronoid Fracture

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 1992
A report of the open treatment of the extremely rare displaced coronoid fracture of the mandible is presented. The previously predicted but undocumented oblique submuscular fracture from the depth of the mandibular notch to a point immediately behind the distal end of the alveolar process allowed displacement to occur.

THE USE OF RIGID INTERNAL FIXATION IN THE SURGICAL MANAGEMENT OF CERVICAL SPONDYLOSIS

Neurosurgery, 2007
In the surgical management of cervical spondylosis, the application of rigid internal fixation can enhance the immediate stability of the cervical spine. The sophistication of such internal fixation systems and the indications for their use are continuously evolving.

Rigid Internal Fixation Facts Versus Fallacies

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinics of North America, 1990
SUMMARY Rigid fixation has brought unquestioned benefits for patients and has made us even more aware of the need for accuracy in surgery. In addition, it has intensified the demands on our own knowledge of its uses and limitations. As we address such questions, it is hoped that we will acquire a deeper understanding of the biomechanical properties of
