Device and method for reduction of zygomatic complex fractures through the oral cavity

摘要

The invention relates to medicine, particularly to maxillofacial surgery and is invented for reduction of zygomatic complex fractures through the oral cavity.The device for reduction of zygomatic complex fractures through the oral cavity consists of a cylindrical handle of a length of 8 cm with rounded ends, to which is rigidly fixed, in the form of T, a rod of a length of 15 cm, with its free end bent in the form of S, with a diameter of 0.1 cm, and at the level of fixation to the handle the rod having 0.6 cm.The method for reduction of zygomatic complex fractures through the oral cavity consists in that it is performed an incision of 0.5 cm of the vestibular mucosa, behind the zygomaticomaxillary suture of the corresponding bones, then it is formed a tunnel under the inferoposterior edge of the zygomatic bone, afterwards the sharp end of the said device is introduced into the formed tunnel up to the lower edge of the zygomatic bone, it is turned the device about 90° so that the handle may be perpendicular to the zygomatic arch, and the sharp end of the rod be placed under the zygomatic bone, behind the zygomaticomaxillary suture, then it is re-turned the handle about 90° so that the curvature of the rod closer to the handle may be by the labial curvature of the oral cavity, reduction of bone fragments is carried out in the anterior and superior directions by forced and dosed movements.
