- Abstract
Background: The mandibular symphysis is a true joint with a fibrocartilage disc stabilizing both ramus of mandible. The mandibular fracture occurs in 15% of all cases of fracture in cats, and of these, 73% correspond to fracture of the mandibular symphysis. There is a technique for stabilization of symphysis fracture using a nylon cable tie band, however it is necessary to perform two lateral incisions in the oral mucosa besides divulsion of subcutaneous tissue, performing a tunnel so that the band can be passed from one side to another. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate an alternative technique of fixation with nylon cable tie band in mandibular symphyseal fractures of cats and compare the effectiveness, stability and complications...

Background: The mandibular symphysis is a true joint with a fibrocartilage disc stabilizing both ramus of mandible. The mandibular fracture occurs in 15% of all cases of fracture in cats, and of these, 73% correspond to fracture of the mandibular symphysis. There is a technique for stabilization of symphysis fracture using a nylon cable tie band, however it is necessary to perform two lateral incisions in the oral mucosa besides divulsion of subcutaneous tissue, performing a tunnel so that the band can be passed from one side to another. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate an alternative technique of fixation with nylon cable tie band in mandibular symphyseal fractures of cats and compare the effectiveness, stability and complications between implants of nylon cable tie band and stainless steel wire. Materials, Methods & Results: Twelve cats were undergone to experimental mandibular symphyseal fractures and were randomly separated in two groups according on type of implant used for osteosynthesis. For performing the cerclage, was used nylon cable tie band in the cats of the N group and stainless steel wire in the cats of A group. Cats were undergone to daily oral inspection and radiographic exams at 0, 15, 30 and 45 days post surgery. Radiografic analysis was performed by two evaluators and used the average among them. This scale ranged from 0 to 4, with grade 0 classified as absence of bone resorption around the implant and the mandibular symphysis, grades 1, 2, 3 and 4, when that bone resorption was mild, moderate, severe or very severe respectively. There were statistic differences in the radiographic evaluation between groups, only at 15 days, which Group A presented higher bone resorption than group N. There was a significant effect between time and degree of bone resorption in both groups. Adapted technique was feasible and easy to be performed. Fracture stabilization was effective and rigid fixation and appropriate occlusion was achieved in both groups. Two cats from group N presented sinus at 36 and 42 days after surgery. Discussion: The alternative technique of fixation of the nylon cable tie bands was less invasive than the technique described previously, since only one incision was necessary for implant placement and did not require divulsion of tissue. All animals showed bone resorption around the implant and between mandibular symphysis. Due to evidence of progressive feature, it is suggested that bone resorption is influenced by the pressure exerted by the implant in the bone, compressing the periosteum and affecting the collateral vascularization. It is suggested that group A has shown greater bone resorption in time 15 and 30 days due to the increased pressure exerted by the implant between the bone fragments. Only at 45 days post stabilization the N group showed higher bone resorption than group A, so it is possible that this difference occurred due to progressive accumulation of foreign bodies in the tunnel formed by implant, predisposing to bacterial contamination. Another hypothesis is that because the surface of the nylon band is wider, therefore overlaps with the greater bone area, resulting in greater longterm resorption. It is possible that the sinuses were formed only in N group due to the tunnel formed by the implant allowing communication of the oral cavity with the subcutaneous ventral mandibular and the passage of oral bacteria into the subdermal tissue. Nylon cable tie band as implant is an effective alternative for osteosynthesis of mandibular symphyseal fractures in cats, nevertheless it can not remain for a longer time due to risk of complications, as sinus formation.
