Interosseous fixation with hemoclips.

M Gurucharri, R Schwager

    Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
    |August 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    A surgical Hemoclip offers a simple and effective method for stabilizing facial fractures, aiding in precise alignment of bone fragments. This technique may supplement established methods for reconstructive surgeons in specific facial trauma cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Trauma Surgery
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Facial fractures present complex reconstructive challenges.
    • Current stabilization techniques require specialized training and materials.
    • A need exists for simple, effective adjuncts in facial fracture management.

    Observation:

    • A surgical Hemoclip was utilized for facial fracture stabilization.
    • The Hemoclip demonstrated ease of application and adequate tensile strength.
    • Fracture fragments were maintained in precise anatomical alignment post-application.

    Findings:

    • The Hemoclip provides reliable stabilization for facial bone fragments.
    • Its application is straightforward, requiring minimal specialized equipment.
    • The device effectively maintains reduction in selected facial fracture cases.

    Implications:

    • The surgical Hemoclip can be a valuable addition to the reconstructive surgeon's toolkit.
    • This method offers a potentially simpler adjunct for managing specific facial fractures.
    • Further investigation may validate its role in routine facial trauma reconstruction.
