[Fracture injuries of the mandibular arch. A repair technic].
The authors describe a technique for reduction of external lateral displacement of the posterior portions of the mandibular arch following unifocal or multifocal fractures. To achieve reduction they use a basilar wire transfixing the floor of the mouth and stretched between two horizontal branches, most often combined with a symphyseal osteosynthesis. This study of ten cases demonstrates the good functional and cosmetic results obtained with this method.
