Intermaxillary Fixation Screw Morbidity in Treatment of Mandibular Fractures-A Retrospective Study

摘要

Purpose: The aim of the present retrospective study was to investigate the morbidity of screws used for intermaxillary fixation (IMF) in the treatment of mandibular fractures. A review of the published data was also performed for a comparison of outcomes. Our hypothesis was that the use of screws for IMF of mandibular fractures would result in minimal morbidity.
