Fracture fixation was performed under general anesthesia. A 4.5\/5.5 narrow LCP was applied externally above the level of the skin and combined with intraoral tension band wiring.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Fracture fixation was achieved successfully using an ESF\u2010LCP. Minimal tissue manipulation was required during application and removal of the construct. The ESF\u2010LCPs provided adequate access to the wounds at the fracture site, were well tolerated, and did not interfere with any objects in the animals\u2019 environment. Mild drainage at the screw\u2010skin interface developed in all cases, requiring early implant removal due to surgical site infection in one case. The use of longer plates was associated with superficial pressure necrosis of the skin in the masseter area in two cases. Implants were removed after 3 to 12\u2009weeks, and the long\u2010term functional outcome after 11 to 41 (median 13) months was good in all cases.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Stabilization of mandibular fractures with ESF\u2010LCP led to good outcomes in this case series.
