[A method for treatment of jaw fractures using temporary intraosseous implants].
The authors suggest a new method for treatment of mandibular fractures. This method consists in insertion of implants (19 mm long, 1.8 mm thick) made of medical stainless steel into the bone, repositioning of fragments, and subsequent fixation by intermaxillary traction. The study showed that this method is more physiological, causes less side effects, and requires shorter hospital stay in comparison with the traditional treatment.
