Resurgery of Malaligned Lower Jaw (Mandible) Fracture This young man had been involved in a major road traffic accident with resultant fracture of the anterior segment of the mandible. There was also major intraabdominal bleeding due to extensive internal injuries. He had undergone temporary fracture fixation at that time. Fracture reduction was delayed by six months due to the extensive internal injuries that he suffered from the accident. After appropriate stabilization of his major injuries, he now presents for permanent fracture fixation. Imaging studies revealed a malaligned anterior segment of the mandible. The segment was refractured taking care to ensure that the mental nerve was not injured. Plates and screws were utilized to stabilize the segment once correct occlusion had been obtained. There was intact sensation to the region following surgery. The patient was very happy with the results of the surgery. 📞 Phone: +91 44 4294 7222 📬 Email: [email protected] 🌍 Website: www.smbalaji.com 📍 Location: Chennai, India #jawfracture #jawsurgery #fracture #drsmbalaji #smbalaji #balajidental #maxillofacialsurgeon #maxillofacialsurgery #india #chennai #tamilnadu (at Balaji Dental and Craniofacial Hospital) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBsguyiH0QN/?igshid=j38gmxwq100t

Resurgery of Malaligned Jaw Fracture This unfortunate lady had been involved in a serious road traffic accident with resultant upper and lower jaw fractures. She had been operated in her hometown, but had been left with an open bite and multiple infected plates. Her mandible had been fixed in a narrowed position, resulting in total derangement of her occlusion. She was referred to our hospital for treatment. The multiple infected plates were removed. A L-shaped osteotomy was then performed in her mandible and bone grafts harvested from the patient were used to widen the mandible to its original dimension. This resulted in stabilization of her occlusion. It was explained to her that the teeth lost at the time of the accident could be rehabilitated with dental implants at a later date. She expressed her complete satisfaction with the results of her surgery. 📞 Phone: +91 44 4294 7222 📬 Email: [email protected] 🌍 Website: www.smbalaji.com 📍 Location: Chennai, India #malalignedjaw #jawfracture #fracturesurgery #jawfracturesurgery #maxillofacialsurgery #maxillofacialsurgeon #osteotomy #dentalimplants #dentalimplant #implant #drmsbalaji #smbalaji #balajidental #india #chennai #tamilnadu (at Balaji Dental and Craniofacial Hospital) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAKxe04lXB9/?igshid=e1m8m0bnpf8l
