Functional treatment of condylar fractures in adult patients usually follows the closed reduction/maxillomandibular fixation approach. Some of the problems arising when functional appliances (i.e., activator) are used have been identified and presented here, especially in patients where fractured parts ar...
forfracture treatmentinclude compression plating or interfragmentary compression screws. Stable fixation is defined as a fixation in which fracture fragments are kept within less than 10% strain during joint movement, thus allowing early painless mobilization. Where fractured bone fragments experience strain...
3 is connected at one end to brace 2 by polycentric mechanism 17-19 simulating the knee joint movement. In treating elbow joints, for example, each distractor 14 is connected at one end to the respective brace by means of a bearing mounted on the brace coaxially with needle 10, Fig. 7....
