[Application of absorbable plate in oral maxillofacial fractures]
1Department of Stomatology, Chinese PLA General Hospital, Beijing 100853, China.
Objective:
To explore the biological features and clinical efficacies of absorbable plates and screws for rigid internal fixation.
Methods:
From June 2006 to June 2010, 201 FIXSORB(TM)-MX absorbable plates were used in 57 patients, including 41 males and 16 females aged from 11 - 81 years. And 185 plates were used in 53 patients of maxillofacial fracture and 16 plates in 4 undergoing orthognathic operations with rigid internal fixation.
Results:
All wounds healed primarily and there were no major complications. Forty-five cases were followed up for an average period of 12 months (range: 3 - 36). No obvious adverse effect and absorbable implants rejection were observed. The fracture lines were in the right position in 56 cases.
Conclusion:
As a kind of fine material for internal fixation with strong elasticity and strength, absorbable plate shall be widely used clinically.
