“…Consequently, they have a high rate of infection and are prone to sequestration. Our results are in agreement with the outcome of 2 retrospective studies 2,8 where sequestration was reported to be a common complication after mandibular fracture repair in horses and cattle. Fixation techniques included use of DCP, U‐bar, wiring, and PEF 2,8 .…”

However after fixation with LCP in 6 cases, no sequestration occurred even though several fractures were severely comminuted and infected 3 .…”

“…External fixation using transmandibular Steinmann pins and cortical bone screws has been reported for mandibular fracture repair in horses with good results 4 . Use of the AO pinless external fixator (PEF) has been reported in a pony 5 and has been used for stabilization of mandibular fractures in cattle 6–8 . We report our experience with PEF use for repair of mandibular fractures in 6 horses, 2 ponies, and a donkey.…”

“…The slight bone reabsorption around pins and a moderate periosteal bone reaction, suggest that the stability of the implant was adequate for all the bone healing time despite the non-anatomical reduction of the fracture gap. The osseous sequestrum and osteomyelitis have been reported in fragmented bovine mandibular fractures, treated with an AO/ASIF-Pinless External Fixators (Reif et al, 2000). In our case the clinical and radiographic follow-up, despite the bilateral fragmentation, did not show signs of complications.…”

External Skeletal Fixation for Surgical Repair of a Bilateral Mandible Fracture in a Mediterranean Buffalo

The surgical treatment and follow-up of a bilateral fracture of the molar part of the horizontal mandibular ramus, of a dairy Mediterranean Buffalo in "the field" were described. The mandibular region was swollen, painful and unstable on palpation. The radiographic examination confirmed the diagnoses. The association between sedation and nerve block of the mandibulo-alveolar nerve assured restraint and analgesia. The fractures were stabilized by linear skeletal external fixation, recycled from human medicine allowing a good mouth occlusion. Fifty-five days after surgery the fractures were completely healed and the heifer regularly calved 3 months after without any consequence for calf health.

Summary A Palomino gelding presented for evaluation of a mandibular fracture and physical examination revealed swelling and excoriation of the skin over the ventral mandible. Upon further examination, malalignment of the incisors was appreciated in addition to instability and crepitance of both the rostral aspect and vertical ramus of the mandible. Radiographic examination revealed a comminuted fracture within the interdental space and fractures of both vertical ramii of the mandible. Under general anaesthesia via tracheotomy intubation, the fractures of the vertical ramii were reduced and compression plating techniques used along the caudal‐lateral border of both ramii for stabilisation. Intraoral tension band wires were used for repair of the interdental space fracture. A type II external skeletal fixator using Steinmann pins and polymethyl methacrylate connecting bars was applied to increase stability. The horse was maintained on broad spectrum antibiotics and phenylbutazone and discharged following 6 days of hospitalisation. Radiographs were taken 10 weeks after surgery and revealed evidence of adequate healing. On follow‐up 20 months later, the horse was reported to have no difficulties eating and was maintaining its bodyweight. This case is unique due to the severity of the mandibular fracture. The authors are unaware of any previous reports of such a severely comminuted mandibular fracture and its successful reconstruction employing multiple surgical techniques.

Long‐Term Results of Bovine Mandibular Fractures Involving the Molar Teeth

Abstract: Mandible fractures involving the molar teeth carry a good prognosis for return to normal function. Radiographic follow-up is necessary to detect bone sequestration.
