摘要: Purpose: To assess the fixation strength provided by miniplate fixation, wire-tube batten and wire alone in repair of thyroid cartilage. Materials Methods: Segments 2.5-cm wide × 1-cm long were cut from three fresh, frozen, human cadaveric larynges an 83-year-old man, a 58-year-old woman, unknown cadaver. A vertical fracture was induced repaired with one randomly assigned techniques (n = 10 each group). The cartilage placed Instron Universal Testing Device (Boston, MA) subjected to three-point bending test. Load failure recorded on analogue graph. Results: All reconstruction significantly differed other, providing stronger than tube (P < .05), .01), .001). Conclusion: In experimentally fractures larynx, consistently yielded strongest repair. Although both produced excellent anatomic reaction, we feel that easier perform.
