About the Webinar

In this fourth module of a 15-part series, you will gain profound biomechanical knowledge that is indispensable for successful surgical treatment. The first part of this video deals with fractures of the mandibular body and the subcondylar process. It clearly explains which external forces act on the mandible in everyday life and which biomechanical consequences this has for the stable treatment of fractures. You will also learn more about the different philosophies on fracture treatment of the Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen (AO) and the Strasbourg Osteosynthesis Research Group (SORG) and their respective preferred implants. The topic of the second part is mainly condylar head fractures. What are the advantages and risks of surgical and functional treatment? How can successful stabilisation take place from a biomechanical point of view? Why is a biomechanically stable treatment of condylar head fractures a prerequisite for good management of panfacial fractures? You will find the answers here. Both parts conclude with a detailed Q & A.
