Bone fixation with screws and plates in the maxillo-facial region
International Journal of Oral Surgery
|January 1, 1981
Abstract:
The treatment of fractures and osteotomies of the mandible and the midface show very different problems. The mandible must be treated in a stable and the midface in a static way. Due to the different bio-mechanics and topography of these bony structures, the advantages and disadvantages of treating a fracture in the maxillo-facial-region by the means of osteosynthesis will be discussed.
