[Miniplate osteosynthesis of mandibular fracture in local anesthesia--indications and outcome in 316 patients].
In an retrospective analysis of 316 patients with mandibular fractures treated between 1984 and 1993 at the maxillo-facial surgery of university of Cologne could be shown that the application of miniplate in local anesthesia causes no more complication than in general anesthesia. We would therefore recommend this technique for not to complicated cases of isolated or double fractures of the mandible. In cases of obstacles to general anesthesia it may be favoured even in severe cases.
