Title: [Temporary stabilization of mandibular stumps]. Author: Seibel R, Vergote W, Dieckmann J. Journal: Dtsch Z Mund Kiefer Gesichtschir; 1991; 15(5):353-5. PubMed ID: 1816966. Abstract: The insertion of bridging plates following mandibular resections is usually complicated by the unphysiological and incorrect axial position of the jaw stumps and by tensions resulting in necrosis of the covering tissues in the area of the reconstructive plate. With the aid of temporary intraoperative pin fixation using a minifixateur (small fixateur from the ASIF armamentarium for hand and forearm surgery) it was possible to maintain the physiological axial position of the jaw stumps during the operation.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
