Bone resorption after bioresorbable fixation of a fractured paediatric mandible – a case report

Abstract: The use of bioresorbable fixation systems has been gaining fast momentum in contemporary maxillofacial traumatology. While indications continue to expand with improvements in strength and profiles of these implants, undesirable events, including localised sterile abscesses and osteolytic changes, have been reported during degradation of these products. We report a case of a fracture of paediatric mandiblular angle managed with bioresorbable fixation that showed significant bone resorption adjacent to the fixat… Show more

“…33 Surgeons prefer it because it offers stable and precise anatomical reduction of fragments, allows immediate recovery of function as it has no IMF, shortens the period of bone healing and decreases the recovery period. Despite the obvious advantages, it has not become popular in many developing countries mainly because of cost factors.…”

“…In a series of maxillofacial fractures studied by Bali et al 1 , 55.7% of cases were treated by ORIF with complete avoidance of IMF, functional stability and improved mouth opening. However, a lot of people in developing countries still prefer closed reduction over ORIF (16,17) . The complications encountered for patients in the present study with a one year follow up were infections, malocclusions/ malunion, par aesthesia, trismus, diplopia, ectrupion, enophthalmus and TMJ dysfunction.…”

“…A significant difference in the rate of complications in relation to treatment modality was found. For patients treated with ORIF, the complication rate was 5%, while for those treated with closed reduction the complication rate was 21%.The functional advantages of ORIF includes precise anatomical reduction, functional stability, rapid improvement and short recovery period, which offers optimal results for surgeons as well as for patients (15,16,17) . Arain et al compared the complications of various techniques used to treat maxillofacial fractures for 21 patients.…”

“…Nowadays, ORIF (open reduction and internal fixation) miniplate was becoming popular, either placed along with Archbarr or IMF (intermaxillary fixation), and was said to be the gold standard in developing countries. 5,6 In Africa, MMF (mandibulomaxillary fixation) and intraosseous wiring dominated the preferred choice of treatment due to the cost problem. 7 In Sanglah General Hospital, the standard management of maxillofacial fracture was using ORIF miniplate and screws.…”
