Interosseous fixation with hemoclips.
We report the use of a surgical Hemoclip for the stabilization of a facial fracture. The clip is simple to use and of appropriate strength to hold fracture fragments in anatomic alignment. Its use is not proposed as a substitute for the time-proven techniques, but rather as a potential addition in selected cases to the well-trained facial reconstructive surgeon's armamentarium.
