In the treatment of mandibular fractures in children offering no adequate possibility for attaching splints to the teeth, we use prosthetic splints fixed with four circumferential wires. This monomaxillary fixation is sufficient to stabilize fractures of the mandibular anterior segment. Fractures situated distal to the canines require additional intermaxillary fixation, i.e. zygomaticomaxillary suspension of the mandible. When functional therapy is needed at the same time, we use an activator instead of the prosthetic splint. 59 patients treated in this way were reevaluated within a period of 10 years. The results of this reevaluation are reported.
在治疗儿童下颌骨骨折时，如果没有足够的可能性将夹板固定在牙齿上，我们使用用四根环绕钢丝固定的修复性夹板。这种单颌固定足以稳定下颌前段骨折。位于尖牙远端的骨折需要额外的颌间固定，即下颌骨的颧上颌悬吊。当同时需要功能治疗时，我们使用功能矫治器而不是修复性夹板。对以这种方式治疗的59例患者在10年内进行了重新评估。报告了这次重新评估的结果。
