Mandible Fractures. Symphysis Fractures

Mandible fractures are common and are some of the most enjoyable operations I perform. I prefer to treat many mandible fractures with open reduction and internal fixation, followed by a short course of intermaxillary fixation with Synthes, IMF screws.

Mandible Fractures

Mandible fractures are common. Typically, mandible fractures are best treated with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). ORIF involves using plates and screws to hold the fracture in position. This fixation allows arch bars or intermaxillary fixation to be removed sooner and allow the patient to use their jaw in a timelier manner.
