Fractures of the mandible

P Howard et al. Ann Plast Surg. 1986 Nov.

Abstract

An overview of the various methods available for treatment of mandibular fractures is presented; these range from the application of arch bars and intermaxillary fixation alone to open reduction with compression plating. Whenever possible, particularly in young patients, mandibular fractures requiring open reduction are approached transorally.
