Reduction of a malunited bilateral parasymphysis fracture using a Carrol-Girard screw: a case report

Restoration of skeletal form and occlusion in bilateral parasymphysis fractures is technically demanding due to the fragmented mandible and the unfavorable muscular biodynamics. Accurate reduction is crucial for restoring the sagittal projection and transverse dimension of the anterior mandible. This case report describes a straightforward technique that facilitates precise anatomical reduction and stabilization during fixation of the central fragment using a Carroll-Girard screw.

Abstract

Restoration of skeletal form and occlusion in bilateral parasymphysis fractures is technically demanding due to the fragmented mandible and the unfavorable muscular biodynamics. Accurate reduction is crucial for restoring the sagittal projection and transverse dimension of the anterior mandible. This case report describes a straightforward technique that facilitates precise anatomical reduction and stabilization during fixation of the central fragment using a Carroll-Girard screw.
