| Popis: | Laryngeal fractures are though uncommon they can be potentially life threatening. Comminuted laryngeal cartilage fractures are difficult to manage and various fixation techniques have been described in literature. Outcome results of fixation with different materials can be varied. We report a case of 27 years old male who sustained laryngeal cartilage fracture following accidental fall. Patient underwent emergency tracheostomy and early surgical repair of fractured laryngeal thyroid cartilage with one of the newest techniques "titanium mesh fixation". After a month of surgery tracheostomy tube was removed and patient recovered with good laryngeal function. Titanium mesh fixation gave immediate effective fixation and stability to laryngeal fracture leading to good surgical outcome. |
