“A Bend to a Needle Makes the Arch Stable” a Modified Technique for Zygomatic Arch Reduction and Stabilization
Journal of Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery, 2020Co-Authors: Joseph Edward, Ajit Samson, Arjun Madhu Usha, K. U. HarikrishnanAbstract:Background Gillies temporal approach and intra oral supraperiosteal approach are the most commonly used approaches for reduction of isolated zygomatic arch fractures. Purpose To set forth a less invasive technique for reduction and stabilization of isolated zygomatic arch fractures. Materials and Methods A 24-G stainless steel wire is passed through a 16-G cannula needle and is shaped to form a semi-circle. The precontoured needle was then inserted into the inferior part of the depressed zygomatic arch and the tip passed out through the superior part. The wires are then twisted and pulled laterally to reduce the fracture and are tied over an External Splint to stabilize the arch. Conclusion The technique discussed in this article is simple, less time consuming, cost effective and less traumatic than the conventionally performed techniques for reduction and stabilization of isolated zygomatic arch fractures.

flexor tendon repair using a stainless steel External Splint biomechanical study on human cadaver flexor tendons
Journal of Hand Surgery (European Volume), 1999Co-Authors: L Gordon, F A Dysarz, K T Venkateswara, R O Ritchie, S RabinowitzAbstract:A stainless steel External tendon Splint was used in repair of cadaver tendons and compared with standard tendon repairs with suture. The Splint was combined with a Kessler repair and tested against the Kessler, Becker, and Savage repairs in fresh human cadaver flexor digitorum profundus tendons. Biomechanical testing was done on a tensile testing machine, and load-displacement curves were generated. The repairs using the External tendon Splint demonstrated a range of improvement of 32 to 146% in mean maximal tensile strength and a 20 to 185% improvement of mean ultimate tensile strength compared with all other repairs. The External tendon Splint is relatively easy to apply to a tendon. The repair is strengthened and becomes capable of withstanding early active range of motion excercises. In vivo testing will be needed to assess the potential clinical usefulness of such a device.

The Use of a Biologically Absorbable Bone Pin Fixation for Nasal Fractures
2020Co-Authors: Takafumi Chin, Yoshinori Sakata, Shunsuke Amenomori, Yasuhiro Yamamoto, Hiko HyakusokuAbstract:After repairing a nasal fracture it is customary to provide postoperative support for the nasal bone with intranasal antibiotic‑soaked gauze packing and an External Splint. However in cases of a skull base fracture with liquorrhea this procedure is generally contraindicated because of the risk of infection. To lessen this risk the authors used a Biologically Absorbable pin which is ultimately absorbed by the body through the natural process of hydrolysis. An intranasal support was inserted from outside the skin down to the maxilla. The operative results were satisfactory with no postoperative complication ss uch as an inflammatory reaction or an infection. (J Nippon Med Sch 2005; 72: 179―181)
