Abstract

Facial trauma can cause severe pain but also emotional distress due to the potential deformity of the facial skeleton. A critical step in the treatment of facial fractures is Inter Maxillary Fixation (IMF). We compared the standard Erich arch bars for IMF to a newer hybrid system that uses bone borne screws for the arch bar fixation, in a busy trauma unit setting. The hybrid system was shown to be time efficient for selected cases and also had higher acceptance among surgeons and patients.
