The use of the compressed air-driven turbine for the activation of
surgical burs and saws as developed by Dr. Robert M. Hall has been
a boon for the plastic, max illofacial, and oral surgeon. The
development of air instrument surgery coincided with the opening of
new vistas in surgery in the area of craniofacial surgery. Cranio
facial osteotomies for orbital (ocular) hypertelorism, for the
deformities of cranio stenosis (Cronzon's disease, Apert's
syndrome) and subcranial osteotomies at various levels of the
facial skeleton have brought about dramatic improvements in the
form of the facial substructure in patients with gross deformities.
In many of these maxillofacial deformities the facial skeleton and
dento-alveolar processes must be advanced, recessed or expanded in
the lateral dimension. In such cases maloc clusion of the tceth is
usual; this is corrected by intermaxillary fixation of the mo
bilized bony structures which also reestablishes adequate
relationships between the dento-alveolar processes of the upper and
lower jaws. This brings us to the subject of surgical orthodontics,
a field that is just beginning to expand; its development should
bring about closer collaboration between surgeon and orthodontist,
resulting in rapid and efficient improvement of malocclusion. The
absence of vibration characteristic of the air-driven turbine, in
contrast to the mechanically driven drill, allows the surgeon to
carry out delicate and precise surgical procedures with less
fatigue to himself."
Air Instrument Surgery, Volume 2: Orthopedics has been compiled to
aid in the se lection and use of air instruments in orthopedic
surgical techniques. In each instance it attempts to demonstrate
the classic approach, leaving it to the individual surgeon to
develop further his expertise and ingenuity with air-driven
instruments. Possible applications and adaptations are as unlimited
as the surgeon's skill and imagination. Detailed illustrations and
text treat the use of each air instrument in various proce dures,
but the surgical application is given only for that portion of each
procedure in which manual operation can be advantageously replaced
by the use of air instru ments. This book, therefore, does not
depict complete surgical procedures, nor does it include all the
procedures in orthopedic surgery for which air instruments are now
employed. Use of air-driven instruments does not imply any change
in basic surgical techniques. It does enhance the surgeon's
dexterity, increase his speed and, in some situations, makes a
surgical approach possible for the first time. A technical guide
has been needed since air instruments were introduced. Air In
strument Surgery, Volume 2: Orthopedics is the second publication
to fill that need. Its function is to clarify problems and
difficulties and to suggest solutions by means of air instrument
surgery. It is also intended to remove any apprehension about the
use of air instruments. To ensure this, the technical procedures
are supplemented with detailed instructions for assembling, using
and maintaining the instruments."
