Resorbable plate osteosynthesis of dislocated or pathological mandibular fractures: a prospective clinical trial of two amorphous L-/DL-lactide copolymer 2-mm miniplate systems

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the indication for resorbable miniplates in traumatic and pathological mandibular fractures. Two resorbable miniplate systems, the 2.0-mm MacroSorb (Macropore, San Diego, Calif.) and the PolyMax (Synthes, Oberdorf, Switzerland), were prospectively used in 24 mandibular osteosyntheses. Made from amorphous 70:30 poly-L/DL-lactide, amorphous copolymer plates have not yet been evaluated for mandibular osteosyntheses. The main advantage of the amorphous copolymer-structure is continuous hydrolysis through water penetration into the implant body during the first 6 months. Hydrolysis breaks the copolymer chains into smaller particles that later become degraded through phagocytotic cells. Twelve patients, aged 13 to 83 years, were treated after providing informed consent. Fourteen dentate patients with moderately dislocated traumatic fractures and two edentulous atrophic and dislocated traumatic mandibular fractures were treated. Two patients with pathological fractures due to osteomyelitis received osteosynthesis after sequestrectomy. Histological specimens of the plates, screws, and surrounding soft tissues were taken after 3, 6, 9, and 12 months in secondary dental implant operations. A total of 22 osteosyntheses healed well without clinical or radiological signs of dislocation, insufficient or excess formation of callus, pseudarthrosis, or plate fracture. The follow-up time ranged from 4 to 22 months. One patient with osteomyelitis worsened because of widespread osseous infection, and one with atrophic fracture developed a bland fibrous pseudarthrosis. The histological specimens showed a moderate inflammatory foreign body reaction. No sinuous drainage or clinically apparent inflammation occurred. The presented osteosynthesis systems showed reliable stability for mandibular osteosynthesis in cooperative patients; however, two treatment failures occurred (8 percent). Disadvantages of the resorbable osteosyntheses were costs, greater diameter, screw breakage, and the need to place the screws vertically to the plate. The use of resorbable osteosyntheses in dislocated fractures should be further evaluated in controlled studies.

Application of minimal-access techniques in lag screw fixation of fractures of the anterior mandible

A modification of the traditional open methods for the surgical management of anterior mandibular fractures using the principles of minimal-access surgery is presented; it was successfully performed in five patients. This technique incorporates the use of lag screws introduced through small incisions transmucosally or percutaneously after anatomic reduction of the fracture, and it relies on accurate preoperative radiologic assessment of the fracture pattern and location. This technique is indicated for any favorable fracture in the anterior mandibular arch that could achieve osteosynthesis with lag screw fixation, and it depends on the use of a dental arch bar as a tension band. Contraindications include unfavorable fracture patterns (long oblique, comminuted, or flat mandibular plane), inadequate dental support to maintain an arch bar due to missing or loose teeth, the inability to determine the fracture pattern preoperatively, and operator inexperience. Potential advantages include a shorter operative time, economic savings, decreased patient morbidity (swelling, scarring, and mental nerve and lower-lip muscle dysfunction), and improvement in functional rehabilitation.     

A new technique for internal fixation of femoral fractures in mice: impact of stability on fracture healing

Mouse models are of increasing interest to study the molecular aspects of fracture healing. Because biomechanical factors greatly influence the healing process, stable fixation of the fracture is of interest also in mouse models. Unlike in large animals, however, there is a lack of mouse models which provide stable osteosynthesis. The purpose of this study was therefore to develop a technique for a more stable fixation of femoral fractures in mice and to analyze the impact of stability on the process of fracture healing. The new technique introduced herein includes an intramedullary pin and an extramedullary metallic clip. Ex vivo biomechanical analysis revealed a significantly higher implant stiffness of our pin-clip technique when compared with previously described intramedullary fixation techniques. In vivo, we studied the course of healing after the more stable fixation with our pin-clip technique and compared the results with that observed after unstable fixation with the pin-clip technique after cutting the clip. After 2 and 5 weeks of fracture healing radiological analysis demonstrated that the more stable fixation with the pin-clip technique results in a significantly higher union rate compared to the unstable fixation. Torsional stiffness at 5 weeks was almost 3-fold of that measured after unstable fixation. Histomorphological analysis further showed that fractures stabilized with the pin-clip technique healed with a smaller periosteal callus area, an increased fraction of bone and a reduced amount of fibrous tissue. Of interest, the pin-clip fixation showed reliable union after 5 weeks, whereas the unstable pin fixation did not regularly achieve adequate fracture healing. In conclusion, we introduce a novel, easily applicable internal osteosynthesis technique in mice, which provides rotational stability after femoral fracture fixation. We further show that a more stable osteosynthesis significantly improves the process of fracture healing also in mice.     

Subunit principles in midface fractures: the importance of sagittal buttresses, soft-tissue reductions, and sequencing treatment of segmental fractures

The patterns of midface fractures were related to postoperative computed tomography scans and clinical results to assess the value of ordering fracture assembly in success of treatment methods. A total of 550 midface fractures were studied for their midface components and the presence of fractures in the adjacent frontal bone or mandible. Preoperative and postoperative computed tomography scans were analyzed to generate recommendations regarding exposure and postoperative stability related to fracture pattern and treatment sequence, both within the midface alone and when combined with frontal bone and mandibular fractures. Large segment (Le Fort I, II, and III) fractures were seen in 68 patients (12 percent); more comminuted midface fracture combinations were seen in 93 patients (17 percent). Midface and mandibular fractures were seen in 166 patients (30 percent). Midface, mandible, and nasoethmoid fractures were seen in 38 patients (7 percent). Frontal bone and midface fractures were seen in 131 patients (24 percent). Split-palate fractures accompanied 8 percent of midface fractures. Frontal bone, midface, and mandibular fractures were seen in 54 patients (10 percent). The midface, because of weak bone structure and comminuted fracture pattern, must therefore be considered a dependent, less stable structure. Its injuries more commonly occur with fractures of the frontal bone or mandible (two-thirds of cases) and, more often than not (>60 percent), are comminuted. Comminuted and pan-facial (multiple area) fractures deserve individualized consideration regarding the length of intermaxillary immobilization. Examples of common errors are described from this patient experience.     

Displacement of a mandibular incisor--an infrequent complication of mandibular fracture

A case of a mandibular fracture with an unusual complication is reported. A 13-year-old boy was admitted four years after conservative treatment of a symphyseal fracture. He complained of recurrent swelling. A radiographic evaluation showed a horizontally laid permanent mandibular left lateral incisor (PMLLI) that had probably slid into the fracture line and provoked repetitive infection episodes. After a surgery, a clinical and radiological analysis showed satisfactory healing.     

The validity of ESIN method of osteosynthesis compared to other active surgical methods of treatment of diaphyseal fractures of long bones in children and adolescents

We investigated the relationship of efficiency in the application of the ESIN method of intramedullary osteosynthesis and other active surgical methods in the treatment of diaphyseal fractures of long bones in children and adolescents. The study comprised 100 subjects treated by elastic stable intramedullary osteosynthesis (ESIN - group A) and 50 subjects in whom other active surgical methods were applied (group B). The following criteria of efficiency of treatment were applied: 1. length of perioperative hospitalization, 2. time elapsed since the operation until the beginning of loading of the traumatized extremity, 3. time elapsed since the operation until the full loading of the extremity, i.e. until the recovery of the fracture, 4. incidence of complications, 5. number of post-operative outpatient clinical visits until the recovery of the fracture and 6. overall number of X-ray images of the fractured bone since the accident until the coalescence of the fracture. The results obtained in both groups were compared. 1. The length of perioperative hospitalization is shorter in patients in whom ESIN method was applied. The difference between arithmetic means was 4.45 days and is statistically significant (p < 0.001). 2. The time between the operation until the beginning of loading of the extremity is shorter in patients subjected to ESIN method of osteosynthesis, the difference of mean values being 23.49 days and is statistically significant (p < 0.001). 3. The time between the operation until the full loading of the extremity is shorter in patients subjected to ESIN method of osteosynthesis, the difference being 16.6 days and is statistically significant (p < 0.001). 4. The number of complications in patients treated by the ESIN method of osteosynthesis is not statistically different from that in group B (chi2 = 0.25, p = 0.62). 5. In postoperative period there were fewer outpatient controls in patients to whom ESIN method of osteosynthesis was applied, and the difference is statistically significant (Z = 7.69, p < 0.001). 6. Likewise, the overall number of X-ray controls was lesser (Z = 8.06, p < 0.001). The results of examining the above parameters point to a greater efficiency of treating diaphyseal fractures of long bones in children and adolescents by the ESIN method of osteosynthesis, compared to other active surgical methods.     

Angle-fixed plate fixation or double-plate osteosynthesis in fractures of the proximal humerus: a biomechanical study

Internal fixation of fractures of the proximal humerus needs a high stability of fixation to avoid secondary loss of fixation. This is especially important in osteoporotic bone. In an experimental study, the biomechanical properties of the angle-fixed Philos plate (internal fixator) and a double-plate osteosynthesis using two one-third tubular plates were assessed. The fracture model was an unstable three-part fracture (AO type B2). Eight pairs of human cadaveric humeri were submitted to axial load and torque. In the first part of the study, it was assessed to which degree the original stiffness of the humeri could be restored after the osteotomy by the osteosynthesis procedure. Subsequently, subsidence during 200 cycles of axial loading and torque was analysed. During axial loading, the Philos plate was significantly stiffer and showed less irreversible deformation. Two double-plate fixations, but none of the Philos plate osteosynthesis, failed. During torsion, there were no significant differences between the two implants. From the biomechanical point of view, the angle-fixed Philos plate represents the implant of choice for the surgical fixation of highly unstable three-part fractures of the proximal humerus, as the internal fixator system is characterised by superior biomechanical properties.     

Resorbable plate osteosynthesis of sagittal split osteotomies with major bone movement

This study evaluates resorbable miniplate osteosyntheses in sagittal split osteotomies with major bone repositioning. Two resorbable 2.0-mm miniplate systems, MacroSorb (Macropore, San Diego, Calif.) and PolyMax (Synthes, Oberdorf, Switzerland), were compared consecutively. Amorphous 70:30 poly-L/DL-lactide copolymer plates sustain continuous hydrolysis through water penetration into the implant body during the first 6 months in situ. This breaks copolymer chains into smaller particles, which later become degraded through phagocytotic cells. Eighteen patients, 10 women and eight men, 16 to 57 years old (average, 27 years) were examined. They had severe dysgnathia caused by congenital craniofacial malformations, systemic disorders, trauma, amelogenesis imperfecta, oligodontia, and other conditions, and they needed five 8- to 10-mm and 13 major 10- to 12-mm repositions. Twelve sagittal split osteotomies were fixed with 12 MacroSorb plates in six patients, and 24 osteotomies were filled with 32 PolyMax plates in 12 patients. Ten mandibular plate, screw, hard-tissue, and soft-tissue specimens were taken at 3, 6, 9, or 12 months postoperatively in secondary operations (e.g., dental implant placement).Follow-up ranged from 4 to 19 months; all osteosyntheses reossified. Four patients showed proximal fragments rotated up to 5 mm sagittally anteriorly and nonaligned burr holes on the postoperative radiogram, suggesting plate fractures or screw pullout. When plate fracture was noted, guided occlusion was maintained 4 weeks after surgery. Occlusal, radiologic, and skeletal results remained stable. After starting fixation with two plates on each side, no more plate fractures were seen. In three other patients, minor skeletal relapses up to 3 mm horizontally resulted. Local histologic inspection of specimens showed thorough osseous union. Screw remnants embedded in bone made screw pullout unlikely; rather, screw-head or plate fractures were found as multiple degraded particles. Microscopy showed a chronic foreign body reaction. Two patients (11 percent) developed a sterile fistula 3 and 4 months after surgery, draining implant debris. Here, the biopsies showed a granulocytic infiltrate that subsided clinically after excisional biopsy. The assignment of MacroSorb plates followed by PolyMax plates was done in an otherwise unchanged treatment protocol. Comparison of the number of patients in each group with stable osteosyntheses and regular healing showed no significant differences by Fisher's exact test (p = 0.1516); therefore, the authors focused on the combined results for both treatments.The current osteosynthesis systems showed sufficient stability for mandibular fixation after sagittal split osteotomy and repositioning more than 10 mm distant when two plates were applied to each side; however, 27 percent of patients had complications, including relapses. Disadvantages were the cost, breakability, diameter, and need to place the screws vertically to the plate, necessitating a bent instrument or transbuccal incisions.     

Callus Formation and Mineralization after Fracture with Different Fixation Techniques: Minimally Invasive Plate Osteosynthesis versus Open Reduction Internal Fixation

Minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis(MIPO) has been considered as an alternative for fracture treatment. Previous study has demonstrated that MIPO technique has the advantage of less soft tissue injury compared with open reduction internal fixation (ORIF). However, the comparison of callus formation and mineralization between two plate osteosynthesis methods remains unknown. In this experiment, ulna fracture model was established in 42 beagle dogs. The fractures underwent reduction and internal fixation with MIPO or ORIF. Sequential fluorescent labeling and radiographs were applied to determine new callus formation and mineralization in two groups after operation. At 4, 8 and 12 weeks postoperatively, the animals were selected to be sacrificed and the ulna specimens were analyzed by Micro-CT. The sections were also treated with Masson staining for histological evaluation. More callus formation was observed in MIPO group in early stage of fracture healing. The fracture union rate has no significant difference between two groups. The results indicate that excessive soft tissue stripping may impact early callus formation. As MIPO technique can effectively reduce soft tissue injury with little incision, it is considered to be a promising alternative for fracture fixation.

Percutaneous osteosynthesis versus cast immobilisation for the treatment of minimally and non-displaced scaphoid fractures. Functional outcomes after a follow-up of at least 12 month

The authors compare the functional outcome of 26 patients successfully treated by percutaneous osteosynthesis and 24 patients successfully treated by a short-arm thumb cast for the acute scaphoid fracture after a follow-up of at least 12 months. The patients treated by percutaneous osteosynthesis showed a significantly better range of wrist motion at the time of re-examination. Differences in persistent complaints and in grip strength compared to the uninjured wrist between both groups were statistically insignificant yet slightly in favour of the surgically treated patients. The higher suitability of percutaneous osteosynthesis is further supported by the significantly lower failure rate compared to conservative treatment. Based on these results, percutaneous osteosynthesis seemed to be the more favourable method of treatment of minimally and non-displaced scaphoid fractures than conservative treatment.

An efficient and accurate prediction of the stability of percutaneous fixation of acetabular fractures with finite element simulation

Posterior wall fracture is one of the most common fracture types of the acetabulum and a conventional approach is to perform open reduction and internal fixation with a plate and screws. Percutaneous screw fixations, on the other hand, have recently gained attention due to their benefits such as less exposure and minimization of blood loss. However their biomechanical stability, especially in terms interfragmentary movement, has not been investigated thoroughly. The aims of this study are twofold: (1) to measure the interfragmentary movements in the conventional open approach with plate fixations and the percutaneous screw fixations in the acetabular fractures and compare them; and (2) to develop and validate a fast and efficient way of predicting the interfragmentary movement in percutaneous fixation of posterior wall fractures of the acetabulum using a 3D finite element (FE) model of the pelvis. Our results indicate that in single fragment fractures of the posterior wall of the acetabulum, plate fixations give superior stability to screw fixations. However screw fixations also give reasonable stability as the average gap between fragment and the bone remained less than 1 mm when the maximum load was applied. Our finite element model predicted the stability of screw fixation with good accuracy. Moreover, when the screw positions were optimized, the stability predicted by our FE model was comparable to the stability obtained by plate fixations. Our study has shown that FE modeling can be useful in examining biomechanical stability of osteosynthesis and can potentially be used in surgical planning of osteosynthesis.

Evaluation of threshold stress for bone resorption around screws based on in vivo strain measurement of miniplate

The purpose of this study is to investigate the critical threshold stress causing bone resorption evaluated from strain measurement in vivo, comparing the various finite element models. In this study strains of miniplates used for mandibular fractures were measured once a week until the strains reduced. The maximum bite force for each patient was applied in the incisal, right molar and left molar region. The strains increased and reached a peak level at 2-4 weeks, whereas the bite forces increased during the period of measurements. A 3-D osteosynthesis model using finite element method showed that the compressive stresses of the bone surrounding screws ranged within approximately -40 MPa under the condition generating the same amounts of strains measured in the miniplates. Furthermore, various finite element models simulating mandibular reconstruction using the fibular graft were constructed. The models for reconstruction using single strut fibula showed distinct stress concentration in the cortical bone surrounding screws, and the peak stress levels were 2 to 3 times as strong as that of the fracture model. We conclude that critical threshold for bone resorption should be approximately -50 MPa (3600 micro strain).
