The insertion of bridging plates following mandibular resections is usually complicated by the unphysiological and incorrect axial position of the jaw stumps and by tensions resulting in necrosis of the covering tissues in the area of the reconstructive plate. With the aid of temporary intraoperative pin fixation using a minifixateur (small fixateur from the ASIF armamentarium for hand and forearm surgery) it was possible to maintain the physiological axial position of the jaw stumps during the operation.

Efficacy of funnel-web spider antivenom in human envenomation by Hadronyche species.

We describe the envenomation of three patients by Hadronyche versuta, Hadronyche infensa and Hadronyche cerberea (which all are species of funnel-web spider) and the reversal of symptoms by funnel-web spider antivenom. The importance of continuing to administer antivenom until symptoms are reversed is emphasized; all three patients required further doses of antivenom to reverse the symptoms completely. None of the patients had received first aid.
