Of 19 patients 14 were males and 5 were females</span>.<strong></strong></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> <span lang="TR">All fractures healed. Deep infection was not encountered. According to the Thoresen criteria, the rate of excellent-good results was 78%. In two patients, who had also cranial trauma, development of excessive callus was observed.
