Endoscopic treatment of maxillofacial fractures is a different way of performing open reduction and internal fixation. This report presents a case series of mandibular subcondylar fractures performed with combined endoscopic transoral and transbuccal approaches and the results.
Sixteen patients with mandibular condylar fractures were preoperatively assessed for risk and underwent open reduction and internal fixation with the endoscope-assisted transoral approach. Duration of hospital stay was recorded and patients were followed for an average of 17 months for possible complications.
No major complications were encountered in any patient. Minimal angulation was observed in 3 patients. One patient had late complaints of temporomandibular joint pain.
Endoscopic-assisted mandibular condylar fracture repair includes special surgical equipment and manipulation not used in classic methods. With this approach, subcondylar fractures can be more readily manipulated through a transbuccal puncture with appropriate fixation achieved.
内镜治疗颌面骨折是一种进行切开复位内固定的不同方法。本报告介绍了一系列采用内镜经口和经颊联合入路治疗下颌髁突骨折的病例及结果。
对16例下颌髁突骨折患者进行术前风险评估,并采用内镜辅助经口入路进行切开复位内固定。记录住院时间,并对患者平均随访17个月以观察可能出现的并发症。
所有患者均未出现重大并发症。3例患者观察到最小角度成角。1例患者后期出现颞下颌关节疼痛的主诉。
内镜辅助下颌髁突骨折修复包括特殊的手术设备和经典方法中未使用的操作。通过这种方法,髁突骨折可以通过经颊穿刺更方便地进行操作,并实现适当的固定。
