Editor's Notes
- Opposing muscular forces cause the mandible to constrict on opening and expand on closing. It flexes under function
- Slide 5 of 9 History: Miniplate simplification and a small reduction clamp used to reduce fragments. A large reduction clamp narrows the mandible. Why are arch bars and IMF alone not effective at narrowing the mandible. What are the goals of mandibular repair? Would subcondylar repair help in narrowing the mandible? Does the subcondylar fracture need ORIF?
