[The combined treatment of mandibular fractures].
A total of 164 patients with mandibular fractures were followed up. Consolidation was assessed on the basis of clinical, X-ray, echo-osteometric, and electromyographic studies. In patients whose multimodality therapy involved ultrasound, fragment adhesions occurred on an average of 27.5 +/- 1.9 and 31.0 +/- 2.1 days later in uni- and bilateral fractures, respectively. The patients' working ability restored on days 32.0 +/- 1.3 and 34.0 +/- 1.1, while in a group of patients treated by routine methods, these periods became longer by 3.5-6.2 and 2.0-6.0 days, respectively. The duration of rehabilitation approximately doubled. Ultrasound is recommended for wide use in diagnosis and clinical practice to stimulate reparative processes in mandibular fractures.
