  • Title: Late surgical treatment of posttraumatic mandibular deformity.
    Author: Boffano P, Gallesio C, Roccia F, Forouzanfar T.
    Journal: J Craniofac Surg; 2013; 24(5):e490-3. PubMed ID: 24036826.
    Abstract:
    Delays in treatment may complicate the treatment of mandibular trauma, leading to a bone healing in an abnormal position and to a posttraumatic mandibular deformity such as malunion, malocclusion, and asymmetry. All these features may make delayed treatment a challenging issue. Therefore, early reduction and fixation of displaced mandibular fractures is mandatory to allow precocious healing and return to the normal function. In this article, we describe a patient treated in our unit for a diagnosed posttraumatic malocclusion after lack of primary trauma treatment.
