ABSTRACT
Background:
Most maxillofacial fractures are reduced and fixed with the help of occlusion as a guide. To achieve the same, Maxillo-mandibular fixation (MMF) is one of the common modalities employed. Often placing MMF is cumbersome for both patients and operators. An atraumatic and less time-consuming method would always be gladly accepted by all.Objective:
To present a novel modification of conventional MMF, to make the technique less cumbersome. Description We present a novel technique of criss-cross direct wiring for intra-operative and is a quicker and has better patient compliance.Conclusion:
The criss-cross wiring technique is found to be an effective MMF technique for maxillofacial fractures.
