title: Management of comminuted mandibular war injuries with multiple circumferential wires.
abstract: The use of multiple circumferential wires to stabilize shattered mandibular body or symphysis fractures due to war injuries is described. The technique provides favorable conditions for bone healing by decreasing the interfragmental space, reducing the risk of infection, and limiting the possibility of sequestration or resorption.
