Mandibular fractures are one of the most common maxillofacial traumatic injuries. They are also reported to be associated with highest rate of post-operative infection. In mixed dentition, management of tooth buds in line of fracture present great challenge to the surgeon. Timely management and non-invasive techniques can help in alleviating complications associated with fractures in children. Such cases should be kept on long-term follow-up for evaluation of proper growth and development. This case report documents a child having a history of previous mandibular fracture and extra-oral sinus tract associated with infected dental follicle. Key words: Tooth buds, greenstick fracture, sinus.

Pediatric mandibular fracture needs special consideration by clinicians. The management of pediatric mandibular fracture differs from that in adults considering the presence of tooth germs and the potential for mandibular growth. One of the most common forms of conservative management for pediatric mandibular fractures is the use of cap splint along with circummandibular wiring. The conventional workflow prior to performing surgery with this technique is impression taking and dental model fabrication. Additionally, it is also recommended that mock surgery should be performed to achieve proper reduction before acrylic splint fabrication. However, these procedures are effortful and time consuming when performed under general anesthesia during surgery and require additional sedation if performed prior to surgery. The aim of this case report is to describe a simpler preoperative digital workflow for the treatment of pediatric mandibular fractures, in which closed reduction is achieved with a three-dimensional printed cap splint stabilized with circummandibular wiring under general anesthesia.

A 73-year-old female suffered spontaneous rupture of the extensor pollicis longus (EPL) and extensor pollicis brevis (EPB) tendons, for which she presented for treatment three to four weeks later. At that time there was no active metacarpophalangeal (MCP) or interphalangeal (IP) extension, leading to severe functional impairment of her hand. Since both the EPL and the EPB tendons were ruptured, transfer of the extensor indicis proprius (EIP) tendon was carried out for the EPL and transfer of the accessory abductor pollicis longus (AAPL) was carried out for the EPB. After a three-month period of follow-up, the thumb motion was restored and the patient was able to resume all activities of daily living. Although concomitant spontaneous rupture of both the EPL and the EPB is rare, transfer of the EIP and the AAPL tendons, respectively, seems to be the treatment of choice for anatomic reconstruction of such injuries.
