“…The heads of the screws protruded about 5 mm and the axis had to be perpendicular to the fracture line. Degala and Gupta (2010) used comparable techniques for symphyseal, parasymphyseal and body fractures. Titanium screws with 2 mm diameter and 8 mm length were tightened at a distance of 10e20 mm from the line of fracture, and around 2 mm screw length remained above the bone to engage a 24 G wire loop.…”

“…Furthermore, one case of dental root perforation due to the IMF screw and two cases of infections with malunion were observed in the elastic internal traction technique group (Taglialatela Scafati et al, 2004). In a study on the tension band wiring technique (Degala and Gupta, 2010), three cases developed an infection and eight cases had a minor occlusal discrepancy.…”

“…Choi et al (2005) described operation times as being significantly reduced in the reduction forceps group; the average operation time was 41 min in the forceps group compared to 87 min in the IMF group. With respect to other techniques, operative time was shortened in several studies (Taglialatela Scafati et al, 2004;Degala and Gupta, 2010) but the authors did not provide exact information either.…”

“…Use of tension band wiring to achieve precise reduction and stabilization of fractured segments during rigid fixation has also been described. 12 Sher-i-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences (SKIMS) is one of the only two Tertiary care centers with a Plastic and Maxillofacial surgery department which caters to a population of around 10 million in our state. In our department we were using wire fixation and started miniplate mandibular fixation since 2007 and conducted this study to evaluate the feasibility of titanium miniplating of mandibular fractures and compare it with wire osteosynthesis in terms of the postoperative complications, hospital stay, cost of hardware used and patient satisfaction.…”

Background: Management of mandibular fractures has evolved significantly over the past few decades from intraosseous wiring, compression plates to miniplates. Our department started using titanium miniplates and we conducted this study to evaluate its feasibility and compare it with wire osteosynthesis. Methods: This is a prospective randomized study conducted on 150 cases of faciomaxillary trauma due to varied etiology with mandibular fractures; 75 cases each in the wire osteosynthesis group and titanium miniplating groups respectively. The two groups were compared in terms of the postoperative complications, hospital stay, cost of hardware used and patient satisfaction. Results: Duration of surgery for the fixation of mandibular fractures was significantly reduced in the plating group as compared to the wiring group (2.0±0.4 versus 2.8±0.7 hours). Postoperatively, wound infection was observed in 4% of cases in the plating group and 16% in the wiring group, mal-occlusion was seen in 8% of patients, all in intraosseous wiring group. Mal-union was seen in 6 of the wiring group patients and none in the plating group. Non-union was seen in 3 patients of the wiring group and none of the plating group patients. Patient acceptability and compliance was significantly better in the titanium miniplating group as compared to the Wiring group. Although plating is costly as compared to wiring, the overall advantages outnumber the wiring group. Conclusions: Titanium miniplating is superior to wiring though comparatively costly but cost alone shouldn't be the consideration in choosing a treatment option even in poor developing countries.
