Abstract

This paper explores the enduring relevance and utility of transosseous wire fixation, an age-old surgical technique, in the management of facial fractures. Despite the advent of modern fixation methods, transosseous wire fixation remains a valuable alternative in specific clinical scenarios. This study reviews a series of cases where transosseous wire fixation was successfully employed to treat facial fractures with favorable outcomes. The technique's advantages, including cost-effectiveness, simplicity, and versatility, are discussed, as well as its limitations and considerations for appropriate patient selection. The analysis demonstrates that while transosseous wire fixation may be considered "obsolete" in the context of newer technologies, it continues to hold significant value as an essential tool in the surgical armamentarium for certain facial fractures.
