Circumferential fixation with craniofacial miniplates for a cervical spine injury in a child.

30 Oct 2009 Unstable pediatric cervical spine injuries present significant challenges in terms of fixation. Given the smaller cervical vertebral bodies in the preschool-aged population, commercially available pediatric cervical fixation instrumentation may be ... Read more...

A new approach for reconstruction of a severely atrophic mandible.

30 Oct 2009 PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to report a case of a patient with a severely atrophic mandible (less than 5 mm) who was treated without bone graft using short implants and internal rigid fixation. PATIENT AND METHODS: A 61-year-old woman was ... Read more...

Open reduction and internal fixation of low subcondylar fractures of mandible through high cervical transmasseteric anteroparotid approach.

30 Oct 2009 PURPOSE: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the functional and radiologic results of low subcondylar fracture fixation with modus TCP plates (Medartis, Basel, Switzerland) using a high cervical transmasseteric anteroparotid approach. ... Read more...
