Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Orthopedic Biomechanics

Background:

  • Traditional curved reduction forceps present challenges in achieving consistent and accurate fracture reduction in mandibular plating.
  • Existing methods often involve angled pilot holes, leading to guesswork and potential complications.

Observation:

  • A prototype right-angle reduction forceps was designed to enhance the consistency and ease of mandible fracture reduction.
  • The device was utilized in four patients with varying degrees of mandible body, parasymphysis, and symphysis fractures.

Findings:

  • Right-angle forceps simplify pilot hole drilling, eliminating guesswork and reducing the risk of cortical bone avulsion or the need for redrilling.
  • These forceps provide adequate force for effective fracture edge reduction and allow improved access for screw placement during plating.

  • The prototype demonstrated superior predictability and efficiency over standard curved forceps.

    • Implications:

    • The right-angle reduction forceps offer a more predictable and efficient alternative for mandibular fracture reduction.
    • Minimal additional training is required for surgeons to effectively implement this new tool in clinical practice.
