Shape of TM joint:
incongruous formed ventrally by mandibular condly and dorsally by zygomatic process of temporal bone with meniscus separating joint into dorsal and larger ventral compartments
What structures are associated with the TM joint?
Parotid, transverse facial artery and vein ventrally, transverse facial branch of auricular-temporal nerve
Indications for TM arthroscopy:
debridement of meniscal tears, removal of osseous fragments
Indications for condylectomy of the mandible:
chronic septic OA of TM joint, fractures of TM joint, TM luxation, severe chronic OA of TM joint as a savage procedure
Complication of condylectomy of the mandible:
development of pseudocondyles, masseter atrophy, malocclusion, difficulty in prehension or mastication
What mand/max fractures can be managed conservatively?
Unilateral fractures of the mandible, maxilla, premaxilla, or incisive bone that are minimally displaced
Indications for mand/max fracture repair:
fractures that are unstable, cause malocclusion of teeth, bilateral, reluctance to eat or drink because of pain
Benefits of mand/max fracture repair vs conservative management:
improved cosmetic outcome, more rapid healing
What is the tension side of the jaw?
Oral surface of mandibular and maxilla
Why is intra-oral wiring not indicated with comminuted fractures?
Fragment collapse when wires tightened resulting in malocclusion
How is collapse prevented in comminuted mand/max fractures repaired with intra-oral wire?
Buttress with intra-oral splint, external fixator, plates
Why are loose teeth not removed with fracture repair?
Viability is difficult to determine at surgery, provide anchor sites and support neighboring teeth during intra-oral wiring
Benefit of intra-oral wiring + external fixation vs internal fixation in mand/max fractures:
inexpensive, fixation can be varied to accommodate fracture configuration, screws are easily stripped, screw placement to avoid teeth is difficult, implants become infected and have to be removed, difficult to place plate on tension surface
Where are plates placed for internal fixation of mand/max fracture?
Lateral or ventrolateral surface of mandible and lateral to dorsolateral for maxilla
Indications for intra-oral wiring:
fracture of incisors, incisive bone, mandibular symphysis, premaxilla
What can provide caudal anchoring with intra-oral wiring?
Canine, 4.5 cortex screw in interdental space, 2.5 mm hole drilled across lateral edge of interdental space, 2nd premolar
Indications for hemicerclage wire mand/max fixation:
fracture of mandibular symphysis in young foals
Indications for figure 8 wiring of the mandible:
fracture of interdental space in young foals
Indications for tension band wiring to cheek teeth:
fractures of the diastema of the mandible
What stabilizes tension band wiring to cheek teeth:
intact mandible with unilateral fracture, bilateral wiring, with premaxilla fractures the facial bones, nasal septum, and concha
how is an intra-oral splint fitted?
Contoured to roof or floor of mouth to level of ’06, wired through splint and bone and secured with wire
disadvantages of U bar fixation:
time consuming to apply
Advantage of U bar fixation:
very stable
Indication for mand/max fracture screw repair:
fracture of the mandibular symphysis or diastema
Indications for mand/max external fixator:
fractures of the ramus or body of mandible, premaxilla, maxilla
Advantage of mand/ max external fixator:
closed repair, reduced risk of infection, easy to remove, good stability
Disadvantage of mand/ max external fixator:
technical expertise to apply, expense of equipment, trauma to roots, infection of pin resulting in loosening
Indications for type 1 external fixator in mand/max fracture:
unilateral fracture of horizontal ramus of mandible
Indications for type 2 external fixator in mand/max fracture:
bilateral fractures of mandible, premaxilla, unstable unilateral fracture
Pin size and type for mand/max external fixator:
4 mm end threaded for type 1, centrally threaded for type 2
Connecting bar options for mand/max external fixator:
6mm Steinman pin, acrylic side bar +/- wiring around pins prior to filling with PMMA
What type of fixator is the pinless external fixator?
1
Benefits of pinless EF:
lack of pin tract infection, doesn’t traumatize roots, flexibility in application points, adjust construct during healing, debridement of sequestrum at fracture without disturbing construct
Disadvantage of pinless EF:
cost
Indications for mand/ max plate fixation:
fracture of ramus and body of mandible
Where are plates placed for internal fixation of the mandible?
Ventral, ventrolateral, lateral
Disadvantage of ventral application of plate to the mandible?
Biomechanically inferior to placement on the ventrolateral aspect
Disadvantage of ventrolateral application of plate to mandible:
exposure difficult because of parotid duct and screw placement difficult because of roots
When are implants removed from mand/max fractures?
6-8 weeks
Treatment of skull fractures:
closed reduction, open reduction +/- wire suture or flapfix system, reconstruction plates in severely comminuted or unstable fractures
When should skull fractures be fixed?
Delayed until soft tissue swelling decreases but within 2-3 days
Complications of skull fracture:
poor cosmetic outcome, secondary sinusitis, sequestrum formation
Treatment of periorbital fractures:
reduction of fragments (open or closed) with or without a bone hook +/- suture wiring, reconstruction plates for severely comminuted fractures of the zygomatic arch
Indications for periorbital fracture repair:
fragment impingment on eye or ocular structures
Complications of periprobital fractures:
trauma to the eye( rupture, proptosis, corneal ulceration or laceration, chemosis, injury to nasolacrimal duct), emphyema of sinuses
Why does suturing skin over a sinus fistula result in necrosis of the skin flap?
Air is in the sinus under the flap, which dehydrates the skin causing necrosis
Treatment for sinus fistula:
periosteal + cancellous bone graft or biodegradable bone cement or muscle flap
Complications of sinus fistula repair:
complete or partial breakdown of repair, infection
Indications for rostral mandibulectomy:
ossifying fibroma (most common), adamantinomas, fungal and parasitic disease
Complications of mandibulectomy:
recurrence of lesion, flaccidity of lower lip, protrusion of tongue
Term for wry nose:
campylorrhinus lateralis
Cause of wry nose:
genetic predisposition in Arabians, interuterine positioning
When is surgical repair of wry nose performed?
Delayed until foal is at least 2-3 months old so maxilla is strong enough to support implants
Approaches to wry nose correction:
rostal septal resection with ostectomy and stabilization with unilock plate, Steinman pins or LCP; distraction osteogenesis with type 2 external fixation device
Complications of wry nose repair:
infection, fixation failure, partial collapse of nasal passage
What is prognathia?
Asymmetry of maxilla and mandible with mandible shorter than maxilla
What is brachygnathia?
Asymmetry of maxilla and mandible with maxilla shorter than mandible
Treatment of prognathia or brachygnathia:
retard growth on the longer component with tension wiring of incisors and cheek teeth or application of a rachetdis system with distraction on the shorter side
