External mandibular fixation for gunshot fractures: report of 2 cases
High-energy ballistic injuries may cause comminuted facial fractures. Treatment of such fractures might be challenging because of infection and soft- and hard-tissue loss. These cases may not be amenable to open reduction and internal fixation. We present 2 cases of gunshot fractures, for which exte...

description | High-energy ballistic injuries may cause comminuted facial fractures. Treatment of such fractures might be challenging because of infection and soft- and hard-tissue loss. These cases may not be amenable to open reduction and internal fixation. We present 2 cases of gunshot fractures, for which external fixation was used as a surgical step before definitive treatment. With the use of external fixation, existing infection had been controlled and soft tissues had been restored, which allowed oral rehabilitation with reconstruction plates and autogenous bone grafting, if needed. |
