Less-Invasive Technique for Non-stabilized Mandibular Fracture in Mouse Models
Published on: September 27, 2024
Abstract:
An interesting case of kappa light-chain plasma cell myeloma with pathologic mandibular fracture is presented. Traditional fracture management techniques were abandoned in view of the advanced state of this patient's disease. With the use of adjunctive radiotherapy and a soft diet, clinical union of the fractured mandible was achieved without immobilization.

01:27Fractures: Bone Repair
Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
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...

This lesson will focus on the different treatment options for managing tonsillitis, which typically depend on the cause and severity.
01:26Flail Chest-II
Managing flail chest, a condition characterized by a segment of the chest wall moving independently from the rest of the thoracic cage, requires a comprehensive approach. It includes a thorough assessment of the patient's condition, a diagnostic evaluation to determine the extent of the injury, and the implementation of appropriate medical interventions tailored to the individual's needs.
