This manual is conceived as an aid to AO course participants both
in grasping theoretical principles and in performing practical
exercises, as well as a practical guide for clinicians in the
application of AO principles. These principles are discussed in
Part I and related to notions of stability, biomechanics, and
technique. In addition to interfragmentary fixation and load
bearing, the technique of external fixation is explained. The use
of rigid external fixators with the mandible is proposed as a
replacement for pin fixation, which has been obsolete for over two
decades. Part II is a practical guide to the theoretical principles
set forth in the first section of the volume, with the focus on
case studies classified according to fracture type. This section
provides a solid empirical basis of particular value in
establishing indications and selecting appropriate techniques.
Equally important is the anatomy of surgical points of access. In
Part III, the increasing variety of indications for rigid internal
fixation is confirmed. Three areas take on particular relevance
here: the surgical treatment of pseudarthrosis, the by-pass of
primary defects as an integral part of mandibular tumor surgery,
and sagittal splinting and condylar replacement for orthopedic
interventions involving the locomotor system of the mandible. A
foldout entitled "AO Classification of Mandibular Fractures" is
inserted at the back of the book. Its purpose is to help the
clinician confronted by an acute case to determine its
classification.
