Open bite from displacement of reduced fracture
This young man is from Chennai, Tamil Nadu. He had a bike accident a week ago. Direct impact to his mandible resulted in a fracture of the mandible. This resulted in inability to close his mouth with an open bite. His family wanted the best treatment for his jaw fracture. They made enquiries about the best jaw fracture surgeon in India. He was then brought to our hospital for treatment. Our hospital is a premier hospital for jaw fracture surgery in India.
Treatment plan presented and consent obtained from patient
Dr SM Balaji, Facial Trauma Surgeon, examined the patient. He obtained imaging studies for the patient. His plan for the patient was open reduction and internal fixation. The patient consented to the treatment plan.
Successful open reduction and internal fixation of the fracture
Under general anesthesia, an incision in the left vestibular region of the mandible exposed the fracture site. The fracture segments were brought into correct alignment and occlusion checked. The fracture was then stabilized with plates and screws. The incision was then closed with sutures.
The patient expressed his satisfaction at the results of the surgery before discharge.
