[Mandibular fractures in sports. Retrospective study of 48 cases].

We present a retrospective study of 48 isolated mandibular fractures related to athletic activities. We studied patient age, sex, sport involved, mandibular location of the fracture and the therapeutic implication. The sex ratio was 4/1 and mean age 24 years. Rugby and cross-country biking were the more frequently involved sports (79%). We recall preventive measures. Miniplate osteosynthesis was used as often as possible in order to avoid intermaxillary fixation (IMF) (40%) or to limit the duration of IMF. This allowed early return to sport activities.

[Treatment of fractures of the mandibular angle using miniplates attached through the transjugal approach].

We present 114 cases of mandibular angle fractures treated by screwed miniplates placed through a transbuccal incision with transbuccal trochar instrumentation. Usually patients were young men who suffered traffic accidents. The mean hospitalization time was 7 days. 94.5% of the patients healed without incident, no malocclusion complication was observed. Two postoperative hematomas required surgical drainage without healing complication. One non union required removal of the miniplate and maxillo-mandibular immobilization. 2 temporary postoperative hypoaesthesiae were observed. One patient presented a pericoronary infection of a third impacted molar, four months after surgery, but the fracture was healed. The comparison of the results with the others in the literature confirms the reliability of this technique.

[The Internet in oral medicine and maxillofacial surgery].

The authors give an Internet short historical record, then describe the different services offered and the possible applications for oral and maxillo-facial surgery. Electronic-mail (E-mail) provides the ability to compose, send and receive messages through the computer and allows exchanging informations with colleagues around the world. Programs, files and graphics can be transferred from one computer to another. The "news groups" are interesting in various subjects and allow a team work. We find several hundred sites about maxillo-facial surgery. These sites present a medical department, diagnosis problems or therapeutic solutions, medical press. Any information submitted is insecure and could be observed by a third party while in transit. Internet potential (educational benefits, digital access to medical literature, online consultation service) is mentioned in the end of the article.
