Decade review of mandible fractures and arch bar impact on outcomes of nonsubcondylar fractures.

Objectives/hypothesis: Review trends in mandible fracture management and outcomes in patients treated with and without intraoperative arch bar use.

Study Design: Retrospective chart review.

Methods: All patients with mandible fractures between October 1, 2001, and October 1, 2011, were reviewed.

Institutional and comprehensive review of laryngeal leukoplakia.

Objectives: The nature and interpretation of vocal fold leukoplakia has been limited by small study sizes. The present study reviewed institutional data and the published literature to better characterize vocal fold leukoplakia.

Methods: At our institution, the histopathology, age, and malignant conversion rates of 136 patients (208 biopsies) with vocal fold leukoplakia from 1990 to 2005 were reviewed.
