[The treatment of mandibular fractures, complicated by inflammations in the fracture area, by means of xenogenic cartilage].

The authors used a personal technique for the management of infected jaw fractures. If the fracture cleft was not wider than 1 cm, they performed a surgical revision (having made an incision through the mucoperiosteum of the oral vestibule) and replaced the excochleated gra-ulation tissue (including sequestrums) by lyophilized cartilage. The bone fragments were immoblized by bone sutures previously applied and also by additional plastic splints. The substitution of the cartilage by bone begun 6-8 weeks after the surgical intervention (as evidenced by radiographs); the process had terminated in about 6-10 months, the implanted cartilage being completely replaced by newly formed bone. The observation involved 16 cases. The method is also recommended for treatment on an out-patient basis.
