Treatment of rostral mandibular body fractures in 3 cats

Abstract

Three cats which had rostral mandibular body fracture just distal to canine teeth; formed the material of the study. Partial mandibulectomy and acrylic external fixator techniques were used in cases for treatment. The purpose of this study is to present some techniques that are useful for treatment of these fractures in cats.

Canin dişlerin hemen gerisinde rostral corpus mandibula kırığı bulunan 3 kedi çalışmanın materyalini oluşturdu.
Olgularda sağaltım amacıyla rostral parsiyel mandibulektomi ve akrilik eksternal fiksatör teknikleri kullanıldı. Bu çalışmanın amacı,
kedilerde bu tarz kırıkların sağaltımında kullanılan bazı yöntemleri sunmaktır.
