Management of mandibular trauma with rigid internal fixation. 1986

A M Schwimmer, and A M Greenberg

The use of rigid internal fixation has become an acceptable method for the treatment of fractures and continuity defects of the mandible. This technique has a wide variety of applications, including stabilization of mandibular segments for the application of bone grafts. The primary advantage of rigid fixation is that it obviates the need for maxillomandibular fixation associated with the treatment of mandibular trauma by traditional methods. This article reviews twenty cases in which rigid internal fixation was used for the treatment of fractures and continuity defects of the mandible. In only one case was early removal of the implant necessary as a result of infection.
