A 75 year old chronic smoker who is diabetic and edentulous for the last 30 years has a bilateral body fracture, best treatment modality is
ORIF with reconstruction plate
Gunning splints
Two mini plates
Wire osteosynthesis
Non surgical management is the best approach in patients who are at increased risk of non/delayed healing. Medical history of the patient indicates risk factors which can interfere with recovery so Gunning splint is the best approach.
