ADVANCING SURGICAL MANAGEMENT: THE ROLE OF TRANS OSSEOUS WIRE FIXATION IN FACIAL FRACTURES
Abstract
Facial fractures pose unique challenges in surgical management due to the complex anatomy and functional implications involved. Transosseous wire fixation has emerged as a valuable technique in the treatment of these fractures, offering stability and support to fractured bone segments. This paper explores the role of transosseous wire fixation in the surgical management of facial fractures, examining its application, benefits, and outcomes in clinical practice. Through a comprehensive review of literature and case studies, the study highlights the effectiveness of transosseous wire fixation in achieving anatomical alignment, promoting bone healing, and restoring facial aesthetics and function. Key considerations, such as surgical technique variations and potential complications, are also discussed to provide insights into optimizing patient outcomes.
