Bridging plates for mandibular reconstruction often fail due to poor jaw alignment. A minifixateur (small fixateur) temporarily secures jaw stumps, maintaining correct axial position during surgery and improving outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Surgical Reconstruction
  • Biomedical Engineering

Context:

  • Mandibular resections for tumors or trauma necessitate reconstructive surgery.
  • Standard bridging plate fixation can lead to complications like incorrect axial positioning of jaw segments.
  • Tissue necrosis is a risk due to tension at the reconstructive plate site.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of temporary intraoperative pin fixation using a minifixateur for maintaining jaw stump alignment during mandibular reconstruction.
  • To mitigate complications associated with conventional bridging plate insertion.

Summary:

  • Temporary intraoperative pin fixation with a minifixateur was employed during mandibular reconstruction.
  • This technique successfully maintained the physiological axial position of the jaw stumps.

  • It addressed issues of unphysiological alignment and tension-related tissue necrosis.

    • Impact:

    • Improved accuracy in jaw stump positioning during reconstructive surgery.
    • Reduced risk of complications such as tissue necrosis in the reconstructive plate area.
    • Enhanced stability and potentially better functional outcomes following mandibular reconstruction.
