Treatment of fractures with wiring or intraoral fixationis necessary to stabilize displaced bone fragments and promote proper healing. This method is often used for fractures in the oral cavity or facial bones, where precise alignment is crucial for function and aesthetics.
This procedure ensures accurate alignment of bone fragments, reducing the risk of malunion and improving functional outcomes. By stabilizing the fracture, it promotes faster and more predictable healing. Additionally, it restores occlusion and facial symmetry, enhancing both function and aesthetics. This approach is particularly valuable for fractures involving the jaw or midface.
For oral and maxillofacial surgeons, ensuring proper placement of wires or splints is critical to achieving optimal results. Surgeons must verify that the fixation devices are secure and do not interfere with adjacent structures, such as teeth or soft tissues. Postoperative monitoring is necessary to detect signs of infection, hardware failure, or improper healing. In cases of intraoral fixation, maintaining oral hygiene is essential to prevent complications.
