Maxillofacial Trauma (view source)
Revision as of 16:52, 10 September 2014
, 16:52, 10 September 2014→Temporomandibular Joint Fractures
If the articular surface of the joint is involved, then a condylectomy is recommended. If not, maxillomandibular fixation is usually adequate. In some cases a muzzle may suffice.
If the articular surface of the joint is involved, then a condylectomy is recommended. If not, maxillomandibular fixation is usually adequate. In some cases a muzzle may suffice.
Restoration of the alignment of the maxillary and mandibular canine teeth and application of maxillomandibular fixation in a partial open mouth position is reasonably well accepted by most patients. Use of repair techniques such as this provides the benefits of a less invasive repair technique, no disruption of the fracture hematoma, and reduced risk of damaging the blood supply to nearby teeth.
