METHOD OF FIXATION OF MANDIBULAR FRACTURES Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC A61B17/24 A61B17/56 

FIELD: medicine; maxillofacial surgery.

SUBSTANCE: invention can be used to fix fractures of the lower jaw. Using a dental drill and burs, a horizontal H-shaped groove is formed on the fracture line, 2–4 mm deep, 5–8 mm wide, the trapezoidal edges of which are displaced by 10–15 degrees vertically. The H-shaped horizontal groove is filled with Rekost liquid porous bone-replacing material and the fragments of the broken bone are placed in a compatible position either manually or using a bone clamp. 15–20 minutes after the hardening of the bone substitute material, the edges of the wound are sutured with muscles, fascia and mucocutaneous membranes in layers. X-ray control is carried out 1 day after fixation, then after 2 weeks and 4 weeks.

EFFECT: method provides rigid fixation, reduced trauma due to good visualization of the fracture line and features of its fixation.
