Description: The stable placement of surgically induced fractures of the mandible or maxilla through the use of elastics, wire ligatures, arch bars, or other splints. It is used often in the cosmetic surgery of retrognathism and prognathism. (From Dorland, 28th ed, p636)

1.	Mandibular Fractures 02/01/2002 - "PURPOSE: We conducted a study to assess the efficacy of intraoral treatment of mandibular fractures using a 2.0-mm miniplate and 2 weeks of maxillomandibular fixation (MMF)" 12/01/2005 - "PURPOSE: In this study, a 2.0-mm locking miniplate (LMP)/screw system was assessed in the treatment of mandibular fractures with a 1-week period of maxillomandibular fixation (MMF)" 11/01/2000 - "PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to compare the cost-effectiveness of mandibular fracture treatment by closed reduction with maxillomandibular fixation (CRF) with open reduction and rigid internal fixation (ORIF)" 03/01/2000 - "PURPOSE: This study compared the complication rate with different types of mandibular fracture treatment (maxillomandibular fixation, 2-mm miniplates, 2.4-mm AO plates, and 2.7-mm AO plates)" 02/01/1995 - "A total of 320 mandibular fractures with maxillomandibular fixation under local anesthesia were treated in this study" Order ALL the reference details at left...
2.	Wounds and Injuries (Trauma) 05/01/2004 - "The critical indication for submental intubation is the requirement for intraoperative maxillomandibular fixation (MMF) in the presence of injuries that preclude nasal intubation and in a situation where a tracheostomy is not otherwise required" 07/01/2003 - "Although clinicians with greater trauma loads tended to provide higher summary severity ratings for the same range of injuries (P <.001), they appeared to recommend maxillomandibular fixation for a much broader spectrum of injury severity (R = -0.42)" 01/01/2002 - "Trauma was a major factor leading to TMJ dysfunction and maxillomandibular fixation increased the incidence and severity of TMJ dysfunction." 12/01/1986 - "The primary advantage of rigid fixation is that it obviates the need for maxillomandibular fixation associated with the treatment of mandibular trauma by traditional methods" 08/01/1986 - "A technique is described in which intraoral open reductions can be performed with direct access to the bony fracture sites and still achieve a tight wound closure while the patient is maintained in maxillomandibular fixation following fracture reduction."

3.	Maxillary Fractures 12/01/1995 - "RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: This study indicates that patients with maxillary fractures treated with either closed reduction and maxillomandibular fixation or open reduction and rigid internal fixation will encounter postoperative problems with a near equal frequency (60% to 64%)" 12/01/1995 - "OBJECTIVE: To compare the type and incidence of morbidity encountered by two groups of patients with maxillary fractures, one treated by closed reduction and maxillomandibular fixation and the other by open reduction and rigid internal fixation" 12/01/2007 - "Re-establishing the continuity of the mandible was the first step and then used as a platform to reconstruct the maxillary fractures via maxillomandibular fixation after Le Fort I osteotomy" Order ALL the reference details at left...
4.	Mandibular Injuries 09/01/2002 - "The aim of this study was to demonstrate the suitability of the FAMI screw (fixation and adaptation in mandibular injuries) for maxillomandibular fixation in the maxillofacial area in orthognathic and trauma surgery" Order ALL the reference details at left...
5.	Trismus (Lockjaw) 07/01/1997 - "Mouth opening was evaluated by measuring the interincisal distance immediately after the release of maxillomandibular fixation and by monitoring the duration of trismus" 03/01/1992 - "However, after examining the fixation methods separately, it was found that those cases in which Champy plates were used experienced a shorter duration of trismus compared with those using closed reduction with maxillomandibular fixation."
