fa Treatment of mandible fractures using resorbable plates with a mean of 3 weeks maxillomandibular fixation: a prospective study جراحی دهان، فک و صورت Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery پژوهشي Research <p> <strong>Purpose</strong></p><p>  In this study, a 2.5-mm resorbable plating system (Inion CPS, Tampere Finland) was assessed for the fixation of mandibular fractures with 3 weeks of maxillomandibular fixation.</p><p> <strong> Patients and Methods</strong></p><p>  Fifty mandibular fractures in 34 patients (32 males, 2 females) with a mean of 20.8 days of maxillomandibular fixation (MMF) were included in this study. The 2.5-mm resorbable plates were adapted along Champy's line of ideal osteosynthesis and secured with four 8 × 2.5 mm monocortical resorbable screws. All patients were followed for a minimum of 6 weeks with an average long-term follow-up of 10 months. The incidence of soft tissue infection, non:::union:::, mal:::union:::, malocclusion, osteomyelitis, nerve injury, and tooth damage was prospectively assessed. </p><p> <strong>Results</strong></p><p>  Primary bone healing was achieved in 100% of cases. Ten minor complications (20%) were observed: 5 soft tissue infections (10%), 4 plate dehiscences (8%), and 1 malocclusion (2%). No evidence of mal:::union:::, non:::union:::, osteomyelitis, plate fracture, or iatrogenic dental or nerve injury was noted no readmission or reoperation was necessary.</p><p> <strong> Conclusion</strong> </p><p> The Inion 2.5-mm resorbable plating system along Champy's line of ideal osteosynthesis plus 3 weeks of MMF is a viable option for the treatment of mandible fractures. </p><hr><p></p><p> <strong>Source: </strong>Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, Oral Radiology </p><p><a href="http://www.oooojournal.net/article/S2212-4403(12)00306-9/abstract" target="_blank"><font color="#0000ff"> Full Text</font></a></p> 0 0 http://idai.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-32-1490&slc_lang=fa&sid=1 David E.
