Internal fixation of maxilla & mandible

Know Your Surgery

Internal fixation is a surgical procedure used to stabilize fractures of the upper (maxilla) and lower (mandible) jaw bones. This procedure involves the use of titanium plates, screws, or wires to realign and securely hold the fractured bone segments in place. It helps in accelerating bone healing, preventing misalignment, and restoring normal jaw function. Commonly performed for facial trauma, fractures due to accidents, and post-surgical reconstruction.
