[A surgical method for treating mandibular fractures].

The authors analyze the results of treatment of 60 patients with mandibular fractures, in whose treatment an improved V. V. Donskoĭ's method was used. Types of mandibular fractures are described, as are methods of treatment. The results were encouraging. No complications were recorded in the postoperative period. The authors claim that the modified method they used is simple, physiologic, sufficiently well fixes the bone fragments, and creates good conditions for reparative osteogenesis, and can therefore be recommended for wide practice.
