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.

VMAT vs. 7-field-IMRT: assessing the dosimetric parameters of prostate cancer treatment with a 292-patient sample.

We compared normal tissue radiation dose for the treatment of prostate cancer using 2 different radiation therapy delivery methods: volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) vs. fixed-field intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). Radiotherapy plans for 292 prostate cancer patients treated with VMAT to a total dose of 7740 cGy were analyzed retrospectively.
