FRACTURES OF THE LARYNX.
It is advised that in significant laryngeal trauma open exploration be done as soon as the general condition of the patient permits. The authors believe that the exact nature and severity of a laryngeal injury cannot otherwise be known, and that no method of closed reduction and fixation will accomplish as good results as open repair. Conservative expectant treatment will in many cases result in a much greater morbidity and a poor ultimate result.
