Pediatric jaw fractures: indications for open reduction.

Jaw fractures in children are generally managed without major surgical intervention. Closed reduction usually is sufficient to restore normal anatomy and function. The one inviolate principle is early treatment. During the past three years, four pediatric jaw fractures that required open reduction were treated. This mode of treatment was necessitated by the limitations imposed by pediatric dental anatomy and by the type of fractures encountered. In at least 24 months of follow-up, no dental problems have been seen.

An analysis of initial results of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty for totally occluded coronary arteries.

A retrospective analysis of 680 Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasties (PTCA) performed from April 1986 to October 1990 revealed that 81 patients had PTCA performed on 86 totally occluded coronary arteries (1.06 lesions/patient). Four of the 86 were acute occlusions. Angiographic success in the group as a whole was achieved in 57 (66%). Multivariate analysis identified only the target vessel as a statistically significant factor predictive of angiographic success from among a host of clinical and angiographic morphologic variables. Left anterior descending artery lesions were identified with the highest success. In addition the duration of occlusion was significantly lower for the successfully versus the unsuccessfully dilated chronic occlusions.
