Abstract:
The treatment of malar bone fractures by stable osteosynthesis represents a well established method. The necessity of a second surgery is one of the major disadvantages of using metal implants. Resorbable plates can only be deformed by very difficult methods. We found out that, cause of the anatomical structure of malar bone region, only three types of plates are necessary to treat every kind of malar bone fracture of males and females.
