“…Failure to achieve this leads to infection, malocclusion, or non-union. 4,20,21 In this study, fracture stability was examined in all patients by simple digital palpation on either side of the fracture line. Two patients, one in group A and the other in group B, exhibited unstable fractured segments immediately after surgery that were treated with elastic traction (patient in group A) and revision surgery (patient in group B).…”

“…However, this finding does not agree with recent comparative studies that have reported incidences of infection of 7.5% with an AO reconstruction plate and 13% with a solitary lag screw and one titanium plate. 4,20 All of the concomitant fractures were treated by the same fixation methods of open reduction and double-plate fixation with the exception of the condylar fractures, which were treated via closed reduction in all patients. This procedure was adopted to control for confounding factors.…”

“…The results of this study showed that the combination of resorbable plates and short-term maxillomandibular fixation for the treatment of mandibular body fracture provided adequate healing with complication rate comparable to non-resorbable bone plate fixation system. This is in agreement with Laughlin, 7 Leonhadt et al ., 8 Bayat 9 who used Inion system in fixation of mandibular fractures.…”

Background:Many different systems are available for the treatment of fractures ranging from the heavy compression plates for mandibular reconstruction to low profile plates for mid-facial fixation, and are made either from stainless steel, titanium or vitallium. Recently, biodegradable, self-reinforced polylactide plates and screws have been used for the internal fixation of fractures of the mandible with good results.Aim of this study:This study evaluated clinically the biodegradable bone plates for treatment of mandibular body fracture and to evaluate bone healing during the follow-up period using digital radiography.Materials and Methods:Eight patients had been suffered from mandibular body fractures were treated using Inion CPSTM bioresorbable fixation system and the healing process were followed up using digitised panoramic radiography at first week and after 1, 3 and 6 months.Results:Clinical examination of fractured segments revealed stable fixation across the fracture sites while visual and quantitative assessment of radiograph showed healing process was comparable with results previously reported by titanium bone plates.Conclusion:Open reduction and internal fixation of mandibular fractures using bioresorbable fixation system with a brief period of inter-maxillary fixation have evolved to the point where the physical properties are sufficient to withstand the post-operative loads required for fracture repair of mandibular body fractures. The foreign body reaction is a major material-related problem which requires further studies.

“…For decades, this approach has also been anchored on the use of metal plates and screws. Without completely over-looking the documented advantages of metal plate fixation of maxillofacial fractures, their use for fixation of mandibular fractures in children can be complicated by the state of mixed dentition; risk of intrabony embedment of metal screws affecting jaw/teeth growth [2,5,17,18,24], palpability or visibility of plates through the chin, damage to tooth buds [19], need for secondary surgery to remove the plates.…”

“…The anatomical characteristics of the developing mandible and the presence of tooth buds in the jaws of children, makes the management of mandibular fractures in the pediatric group a challenge and therefore calls for application of different surgical techniques [1,2].…”

Purpose The purpose of this article was to review our experience in the treatment of complicated mandibular fractures in children using resorbable plates. Patients and Methods Records of 14 patients who sustained and presented to our department with complicated fractures of the mandible, and were treated with resorbable plates were retrieved. Permission was sought from and granted by the institution ethical committee. Data extracted included patients' gender, age, etiology of fracture, nature of fracture and site of the fracture. Results Of the 14 patients, there were 10 males and 4 females with a male to female (M:F) ratio of 2.5:1. Their ages ranged from 6 to 15 years, with a mean of 10.14 years. The etiology of the fractures included road traffic accidents (n = 11) and falls (n = 3). Most of the fractures were sustained on the body of the mandible. Majority of the patients had displacement of the fracture segments; 2 patients had comminuted fractures. All the fractures were treated using resorbable plates and healed uneventfully. Conclusion Whereas the number of patients in this case series was small, it is worth noting that children sometimes present with complicated fractures of the mandible, thereby necessitating open reduction and internal fixation. Resorbable plates when available and affordable, are an effective option for open reduction and internal fixation of such fractures.
