Abstract:
In computer-assisted surgery for complex maxillofacial fractures, surgical navigation combined with 3-dimensional models and surgical guides remains the mainstream approach, whereas applied research on 3-dimensional-printed personalized bone plates remains relatively limited. Our team presents a case of complex maxillofacial fractures with multiple systemic injuries, retrospectively analyzing surgical outcomes and focusing on the advantages of 3-dimensional-printed, personalized bone plates in maxillofacial fracture repair, and the potential impact of residual stress caused by the manual bending of thicker plates.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
