--- abstract: "Fractures of the mandible and their management are discussed in detail in textbooks and articles dealing with facial trauma. This paper presents the management and treatment of a case of a unilateral comminuted and complicated fracture of the mandible due to dog attack on a geriatric patient. The attack also severed the patient's right arm. Due to the severity of the trauma, an emergency surgery was performed on the mandible and arm." altloc: [] chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: ~ conference: ~ confloc: ~ contact_email: ~ creators_id: - ngeowy@um.edu.my - ~ creators_name: - family: Ngeow given: W.C. honourific: Dr. lineage: '' - family: Lian given: C.B. honourific: '' lineage: '' date: 1996-07 date_type: published datestamp: 2012-04-25 13:04:10 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/81/61 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: 0 edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: [] eprint_status: archive eprintid: 8161 fileinfo: application/pdf;http://cogprints.org/8161/1/Unilateral%20Comminuted%20And%20Complicated%20Fracture%20Of%20The%20Mandible%20Due%20To%20Dog%20Attack.pdf full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: pub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: ~ item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: 'aged animal article bites and stings bone plate case report comminuted fracture dog female human injury instrumentation lip mandible fracture osteosynthesis pathology Aged, 80 and over Animals Bone Plates Dogs Fracture Fixation, Internal Fractures, Comminuted Humans Mandibular Fractures' lastmod: 2012-04-25 13:04:10 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: 'Export Date: 7 March 2012 Source: Scopus PubMed ID: 10597177 Language of Original Document: English Correspondence Address: Ngeow, W.C.' number: 1 pagerange: 16-18 pubdom: TRUE publication: Singapore dental journal publisher: ~ refereed: TRUE referencetext: ~ relation_type: [] relation_uri: [] reportno: ~ rev_number: 8 series: ~ source: ~ status_changed: 2012-04-25 13:04:10 subjects: - JOURNALS - OJHAS succeeds: ~ suggestions: "Associate Prof. Dr. Ngeow Wei Cheong @ David Ngeow\r\nDepartment of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Faculty of Dentistry, University of\r\nMalaya, 50603 Kuala Lumpur, MALAYSIA\r\n\r\nAssociate Professor Dr. Ngeow Wei Cheong is currently a lecturer at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Faculty of Dentistry of the University of Malaya. He graduated from the University of Malaya in 1992 and was a private practitioner for 9 months before he was offered the post of tutorship at his alma matter. Three years later, he went to do a house job at the Queen Victoria Hospital in East Grinstead, England. He obtained his Fellowship in Dental Surgery from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland and the Royal College of Surgeons ofEngland in 1996. He subsequently returned to Malaysia and was a pioneer lecturer at the then newly established Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. He left for private practice in 1999 but the temptation to return to academic life was greater, hence he returned to the University of Malaya the subsequent year. His research interest are craniofacial anthropometry, variations of the mandibular nerve, and recovery of peripheral nerves after microsurgical repair. \r\n \r\n\r\nAREAS OF EXPERTISE\r\n\t\r\nDentofacial Anthropometry (Head & Neck, anthropology)\r\n\r\nDental Analgesics (analgesic, local anaesthetic, COX-2 inhibitors)\r\n\r\nSurgical Anatomy (mental foramen, anterior loop)" sword_depositor: ~ sword_slug: ~ thesistype: ~ title: Unilateral comminuted and complicated fracture of the mandible due to dog attack type: journalp userid: 16514 volume: 21
