Fracture fixation wiring techniques Flashcards
- Identify this wiring technique.
Risdon. Note the primary wire is twisted on itself.
- Identify this wiring technique.
Risdon. Note the primary wire twisted on itself, then the R and L sides tightened are together - bilateral placement.
- Identify this wiring technique.
Essig. luxation of canine teeth repair. secondary loops around primary wire.
- Identify this wiring technique.
Stout. Single wire, continuation of Ivy.
- Identify this wiring technique.
Ivy. 2 teeth involved.
- Identify this wiring technique.
Stout. Only one wire used, continuation of the Ivy loops.
- Identify this wiring technique.
Essig. Note the secondary wires and unilateral application.
- Identify this wiring technique.
Ivy. 2 teeth stabilizing each other.
- When using the Stout loop technique, which side of the teeth are the loops placed on?
pick the side least likely to interfere with occlusion
- What type of fracture is the Risdon wiring technique helpful in stabilizing?
Risdon is particularly good for rostral fx’s of the MN and MX
- What is the Stout loop wiring technique indicated for?
More of a stand alone technique - its the Ivy loop continued over a greater distance of the dental arch.
