title: [The application of intermaxillary traction titanium screw in complicated mandibular fracture].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To assess the clinical effect of intermaxillary traction titanium screw on complicated mandibular fracture.
  
  
  METHODS
  Fifty cases of complicated mandibular fracture received ten intermaxillary traction titanium screws and conducted intermaxillary fixation before operation; then the patients underwent open reduction and internal fixation; after operation intermaxillary traction was performed for 2-4 weeks.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Fifty cases of complicated mandibular fracture displayed satisfied occlusion and bone union without major complications.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The intermaxillary traction titanium screw could reduce the time of operation, and shows high efficiency in fixation of mandibular fracture.
