Impact of Surgical Timing on Postoperative Complications Following Open Reduction Internal Fixation of Mandibular Fractures.
J Craniofac Surg

Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Johns Hopkins Hospital.
Purpose: The mandible is the second most fractured facial bone. The timing of open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) has been a subject of debate for decades. The authors sought to investigate the association between the timing of ORIF and the incidence of postoperative complications.

Purpose: Compressive neuropathies such as carpal tunnel and cubital tunnel syndrome can lead to sensation loss, muscle weakness, joint contractures, and disrupted sleep. The interplay between these conditions and the effect on patients' intimacy is unknown. The purpose of this study was to examine sexual function before and after surgery in patients undergoing carpal tunnel release or cubital tunnel release.

Periodontal procedures often require flap advancement for adequate coverage of the surgical site, with tension-free primary closure essential for successful outcomes. Although the periosteal releasing incision is frequently performed, it may necessitate deeper or more incisions, which could result in consequences such as edema, bleeding, paresthesia, and discomfort for the patient. To address these issues, the modified periosteal releasing incision was proposed to minimize trauma into the submucosa.

The mental foramen (MF) is an important anatomical landmark in the jaw, where the sensory nerve (mental nerve) and blood vessels emerge. To avoid sensory impairment or paresthesia caused by mental nerve damage, the MF must be accurately identified and localized. The literature describes a variety of anatomical variants of the MF, such as changes in its position, emergence profile or the presence of extra foramina.

Original Article. The surgical treatment of mandibular fractures has undergone several changes over the past 100 years, since the use of wires and intermaxillary fixation, until today where most of the fractures are treated with internal fixation using plates and screws. For the correct use of this hardware, the surgeon must have adequate knowledge of jaw anatomy to prevent complications during the insertion of screws like in fractures of the mandibular body and angle, when the screws of the plate installed in the compression zone can damage the inferior alveolar nerve within the mandibular canal.
