Article Synopsis
- Mandibular ramus fractures are the second least common type of mandibular fractures and have recently increased due to high-speed traffic accidents.
- These fractures often occur alongside other fractures in the mandible.
- The first reported case involved a ramus fracture coupled with an anterior dislocation of the ipsilateral condyle into the temporal fossa, successfully treated with closed reduction under local anesthesia.*
Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated the effectiveness of resorbable plates for fixing fractured mandibles in 10 patients using the Inion CPS system.
- During follow-ups at 1, 4, and 8 weeks post-surgery, patients were checked for complications, and bite force measurements were taken to assess functional recovery.
- All fractures showed clinical union by 8 weeks, with one patient experiencing manageable swelling and pain, while overall bite force improved progressively throughout the study.
