This study introduces a novel, cost-effective wire hook method for mandibulomaxillary fixation. The technique simplifies achieving intermaxillary fixation, offering a practical solution for surgical centers.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Surgical Techniques
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Mandibulomaxillary fixation (MMF) is crucial for treating jaw fractures and reconstructions.
  • Existing MMF methods can be complex, time-consuming, or expensive.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a modified, simplified method for mandibulomaxillary fixation.
  • To introduce a cost-effective and efficient MMF technique.

Main Methods:

  • A novel wire hook fixation system was developed.
  • The wire hook is secured to the mandible and maxilla using screws.
  • Intermaxillary fixation is achieved using the integrated wire hooks.

Main Results:

  • The modified MMF procedure is simple and quick to perform.
