[Analysis of hemorrhagic diatheses treated in hospital].

An analysis of the patients hospitalized for haemorrhagic diatheses during the years 1970--1976 leads to the statement that their number had been increasing. It is concluded that the number of stationary treatments might by considerably reduced by regular stomatological check-ups of these patients. Therefore, the authors advocate the establishment of several facilities for regular stomatological check-ups of this group of patients in each district of the GDR.

[Tension bolt osteosynthesis for fractures of the mandibular condyle].

182 patients were treated with our method of tension bolt osteosynthesis between 1980 and 1989. Follow-ups of 103 patients with severe displacement and dislocation fractures showed the results to be clearly better than those of conservative functional treatment. Compared with other surgical procedures this method has the advantage that it does not require the joint area to be exposed again for removal of the osteosynthesis material. Slight displacement, diacapitular fractures and fractures in children still require conservative functional treatment.

[Bone scintiscan of the mandible after tension bolt osteosynthesis of condylar fractures].

Bone scintiscans were performed in 11 patients with dislocation fractures of the mandibular condyle after reduction of the fractures and fixation of the condyles by tension bolt osteosynthesis. Since the storage of the radioisotope in the bone tissue is directly dependent on the blood circulation, these examinations allow conclusions as to the blood supply of the mandibular condyle head following reduction. No negative effects on blood supply resulting from the operative intervention could be observed.
