Primary reconstruction with AO-miniplates after severe cranio-maxillofacial trauma
1Dept. of Oral and Maxillo-Facial Surgery, University Hospital, Freiburg/Breisgau, W.-Germany.
Abstract:
Miniplate osteosynthesis has proven to be an invaluable aid when used in severe cranio-maxillo-facial trauma and has thus eliminated the necessity for external fixation devices. Primary exact anatomical reduction, and fixation of the fragments with miniplates, gives both good aesthetic and functional results.
