Abstract

In this study; It was aimed to evaluate clinically and radiologically the treatment of mandibular fractures encountered in newborn calves with acrylic external fixation method. In the 15th day follow-up of 5 cases treated with the acrylic external fixation method, it was observed that 2 cases (Case no. 1, 3) had infection at the bottom of the pins, no infection was found in 3 cases, and loosening of the pins was observed in 2 cases. In conclusion; It was concluded that acrylic external fixators can be easily applied operatively in the treatment of mandible fractures of newborn calves as an alternative to other techniques due to their low cost and weak bone tissue.

Özet

Bu çalışmada; yenidoğan buzağılarda karşılaşılan mandibula kırıklarının akrilik ekternal fiksasyon yöntemi ile sağaltımlarının klinik ve radyolojik olarak değerlendirilmesi amaçlandı. Akrilik eksternal fiksasyon yöntemi ile sağaltımı yapılan 5 olgunun 15. gün kontrollerinde 2 olguda (Olgu no 1, 3) pin diplerinde enfeksiyon olduğu, 3 olguda ise herhangi bir enfeksiyona rastlanılmadığı, 2 olguda pinlerde gevşeme olduğu (Olgu no 1, 3), kontrollerin 30. gününde tüm olgularda kırık fragmentlerinin kaynamalarının iyi olduğu ancak olgu no 1’ de sağ ve sol mandibulada hafif dislokasyon olduğu radyolojik ve klinik muayeneler neticesinde belirlendi. Sonuç olarak; Akrilik eksternal fiksatörler yenidoğan buzağıların mandibula kırıklarında hem maliyetinin ucuz olması hem de kemik dokularının zayıf olmasından dolayı diğer tekniklerine alternatif olarak çene kırıklarının sağaltımda operatif olarak kolaylıkla uygulanabileceği kanısına varıldı.
