Abstract:
The use of screws and plates in the treatment of fractures and osteotomies of the facial bones promises the abandonment of intermaxillary fixation. For those who are adept with the instrumentation and have experience in applying the screws, such systems offer an approach to fracture treatment and osteotomy stabilization that is very much appreciated by patients.
