Abstract

High-energy ballistic injuries may cause comminuted facial fractures. Treatment of such fractures might be challenging because of in-fection and soft- and hard-tissue loss. These cases may not be amenable to open reduction and internal fixation. We present 2 cases of gunshot fractures, for which external fixation was used as a surgical step before definitive treatment. With the use of external fixation, existing infection had been controlled and soft tissues had been restored, which allowed oral rehabilitation with reconstruction plates and autogenous bone grafting, if needed.

下颌骨外固定治疗枪击骨折2例报告。

高能弹道伤可能导致粉碎性面部骨折。由于感染和软组织和硬组织的损失，治疗此类骨折可能具有挑战性。这些病例可能不适合切开复位和内固定。我们报告2例枪伤骨折，在确定治疗前采用外固定作为手术步骤。使用外固定架，现有感染得到控制，软组织得到修复，如果需要，可以使用重建板和自体骨移植进行口腔康复。
