ATOM technique: Anatomic reduction using screw-wire Traction for Open reduction and internal fixation of Mandibular fractures

Abstract

Various techniques are well documented to obtain anatomic reduction, such as reduction forceps, manual reduction, or a combination of these methods. However, these techniques have inherent drawbacks. We propose a new intra-operative technique for anatomic reduction using screw-wire traction for open reduction and internal fixation of mandibular fractures.
