The minimally invasive "pinless" external fixation device provides soft-tissue immobilization and osseous stabilization while limiting the potential for contiguous spread of bacterial infection.
The principles of the treatment of mandibular fractures have changed recently, although the objective of re-establishing the occlusion and masticatory function remains the same. Splinting of teeth is an old way of immobilising fractures but the advent of modern biomaterials has changed clinical practice towards plating the bone and early restoration of function. We present a brief historical overview of techniques and systems that have been used for stabilisation of mandibular fractures.
Lower extremity deformities and reconstruction requires a thorough understanding of the pathology and the underlining etiologies. This article reviews the basic knowledge of identifying the level of pathology and providing reconstruction of tibial deformities with osteotomies and the use of external fixation. It also provides a brief overview of proximal, midshaft, and distal tibial osteotomies and their indications.
