Minimally Invasive Treatment for Thoracolumbar Burst Fracture Using Sagittal Alignment Screws and A Trauma Reduction Device
Published on: November 8, 2024
Abstract:
Extensive fractures of the orbital floor are often combined with other fractures of the facial skeleton, and require surgical treatment and reconstruction. In some cases the reconstructed orbital floor needs temporary support from the maxillary sinus to facilitate healing in the correct position. Over a period of 18 months a new low-pressure balloon, made from silicon with a tetrahedron shape, was used in 24 of 47 patients with lateral midface fractures. The post-operative results are presented and the treatment regimen is discussed.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
